Abstract:
A turbine blade vibration damper is described. The damper has an axially-extending main body defining an inner surface and opposed damping surface. The main body also has an edge spanning from the inner surface to the damping surface and slotted apertures extending through the main body. The slotted apertures extend between the inner surface and damping surface. Adjacent pairs of slotted apertures have elongated shapes defining longitudinal axes that intersect at a point off the surface of the damper.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a platform that axially extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge, circumferentially extends between a first mate face and a second mate face, and includes a gas path surface and a non-gas path surface. The component defines at least one cavity that extends at least partially inside of the component. A first plurality of cooling holes extends from the at least one cavity to at least one of the first mate face and the second mate face and a second plurality of cooling holes extends from either the at least one cavity or the non-gas path surface to the gas path surface.
Abstract:
A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil including leading and trailing edges joined by spaced apart pressure and suction sides to provide an exterior airfoil surface extending in a radial direction. The trailing edge is arranged on an aft side of the turbine blade. A root supports a platform from which the airfoil extends and a cooling passage extends within the root in the radial direction to the airfoil. A lower wing is arranged beneath the platform on the aft side and extends in an axial direction to provide a U-shaped channel with the platform that extends in a circumferential direction. An impingement hole extends from the U-channel to the cooling passage.

Abstract:
A gas turbine engine rotor assembly has a plurality of blades spaced apart from each other for rotation about an axis. Each of the blades includes a platform having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces of adjacent platforms define a pocket having a radially outer wall, a pressure side wall, and a suction side wall. The pocket includes a leading edge wall portion and a trailing edge wall portion, and a shelf extending in a tangential direction relative to the axis from the pressure side of the pocket. The shelf is spaced apart from the radially outer wall.
Abstract:
A damper seal for a gas turbine engine rotor assembly has an axially elongated body with a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side. The elongated body includes a first enlarged portion formed on the pressure side at the leading edge and a second enlarged portion formed on the suction side adjacent the trailing edge.
