Abstract:
A turbine housing section includes a radially inner case centered on a first axis, and a radially outer case spaced radially outwardly of the inner case, and centered on a second axis. The first and second axes are offset relative to each other. A plurality of tie rods include a threaded nut received on a tie rod, with the plurality of tie rods connecting the inner and outer cases. The plurality of tie rods are spaced circumferentially about both of the first and second axes, and extend for distinct lengths between the inner and outer cases such that the inner and outer cases are held at a position wherein the first and second axes are offset.
