Abstract:
A turbine engine assembly includes a turbine engine case, a gearbox and a plurality of mounts connecting the gearbox to the case. Each of the mounts includes a linkage and a fuse joint. The linkage extends towards the case substantially in a first direction. The fuse joint is configured to substantially prevent movement between the gearbox and the case when the fuse joint is subject to loading less than a threshold, and to permit a constrained movement between the gearbox and the case when the loading is greater than the threshold. The fuse joint of a first of the mounts has a different configuration than the fuse joint of a second of the mounts.
