Abstract:
A component blending tool assembly, includes a material removing surface that is moved to provide a blended area in a component, the material removing surface having a spherical contour mimicking a predetermined depth ratio of the blended area.
Abstract:
A case (70) for a gas turbine engine incudes a radial flange (82) with a partial scallop (180) along an inner diameter (190) of the radial flange (82). A case assembly for a gas turbine engine incudes a first case (70) with an a first radial flange (82) with a partial scallop (180) along an inner diameter (190) of the first radial flange (82). The partial scallop (80) is adjacent to a first aperture (122) through the first radial flange (82). The assembly also includes a second case (68) with an a second radial flange (80) with a second aperture (120) through the second radial flange (80) the second radial flange (80) mountable to the first radial flange (82) at an interface (130) such that the second aperture (120) is axially aligned with the first aperture (122). The second case (68) also includes a seal lip (142) that extends from the second case (68) and interfaces with said first case (70) at a longitudinal interface (144).
Abstract:
A bushing (60) including a body portion (62) including a cylinder portion (66) having a bore (64) there through configured to receive a bolt (24); a flange portion (74) orthogonal and integral to the cylinder portion (66), the flange portion (74) configured to abut a load bearing surface (38) of a flange (18); a lip portion (80) orthogonal to and integral to the flange portion (74) proximate the cylinder portion (66), wherein the lip portion (80) redistributes a flange load.
Abstract:
A process for repairing an aircraft engine component includes receiving a plurality of component measurements of a damaged component, comparing the plurality of component measurements of the damaged component to a finite element model of an ideal component, generating a finite element model of the damaged component based at least partially on the comparison, determining a corrective material removal operation based at least in part on the finite element model of the damaged component, and removing material from the damaged component according to the corrective material removal operation, thereby creating a repaired component.
