    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section, a compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section in serial flow arrangement, that defining an engine centerline extending between a forward direction and an aft direction. A composite component, such as an airfoil, extends between a root and a tip, defining a span-wise direction therebetween, and between a leading edge and a trailing edge, defining a chord-wise direction therebetween. The composite component includes a preform core including a first set of fibers as a first set of warp fibers and a first set of weft fibers.

    Abstract: A shroud hanger assembly or shroud assembly is provided for components which may be formed of materials having differing coefficient thermal expansion. The assembly includes a multi-piece hanger including a shroud positioned in a cavity between a first hanger portion and a second hanger portion. A shroud may be formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material which may have a differing coefficient thermal expansion than the material defining the shroud hanger. The shroud is deflected by an axial force acting between the hanger and the shroud which also forms a seal. The seal compensates for differing rates of thermal growth between the shroud and the hanger throughout the engine operating envelope.

    Abstract: A shroud hanger assembly (30) or shroud assembly is provided for dimensionally incompatible components wherein the assembly includes a multi-piece hanger (32), for example having a forward hanger portion (34) and a rearward hanger portion (36). A cavity (46) is formed between the parts; wherein a shroud (50) may be positioned which is formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material. The hanger (32) and shroud (50) may be formed of the same material or differing materials in order to better match the thermal growth between the hanger and the shroud. When the shroud (50) is positioned within the hanger opening or cavity (46), one of the forward (34) and rearward hanger (36) portions may be press fit or otherwise connected into the other of the forward (34) and rearward (36) hanger portion.
