    摘要: A fan assembly is provided. The fan assembly includes a rotor having a hub and a plurality of rotor blades extending radially outward from the hub. Each rotor blade includes a blade tip at a radially distal end of each blade. The rotor blade tips define a rotor diameter. The fan assembly also includes a first cylindrical casing substantially axially aligned with the blade tips, the first casing including a first inner diameter that is greater than the rotor diameter. The fan assembly further includes a brush seal assembly coupled to the blade tip of a least one of the plurality of rotor blades, the brush seal assembly configured to contact the casing segment during a first operational mode of the fan assembly, the brush seal assembly configured to avoid contact with the casing segment during a second operational mode of the fan assembly.

    摘要: A method for operating a gas turbine engine includes receiving data indicative of an operational vibration within a section of the gas turbine engine; and providing electrical power to a shaker mechanically coupled to one or more components of the section of the gas turbine engine to generate a canceling vibration to reduce or minimize the operational vibration within the section of the gas turbine engine.

    摘要: A blade for a propulsion apparatus. The blade includes a body having opposed pressure and suction sides. The blade extends in span between a root and a tip and the blade extends in chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a fracture structure that is defined within the body and positioned such that it is spaced-away from the tip. The fracture structure includes at least one chamber. A first fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the pressure side, and a second fracture wall is disposed between the at least one chamber and the suction side. The fracture structure is configured to fail when a predetermined force is applied to the tip such that the tip separates from the remainder of the body.

    摘要: Composite airfoils and methods for forming composite airfoils are provided. For example, a composite airfoil of a gas turbine engine comprises opposite pressure and suction sides extending radially along a span from a root to a tip, which define opposite radial extremities of the airfoil. The composite airfoil further comprises a body section and a tip section, which includes the tip, that each extend radially along the span. The composite airfoil is formed from a composite material comprising fibers disposed in a matrix material. The tip section has a tip fiber volume, and the body section has a body fiber volume that is greater than the tip fiber volume. Another composite airfoil comprises a tip cap applied over the tip that tapers from a first end to a second end such that each of the pressure and suction side walls of the tip cap narrows from a first thickness to a second thickness.

    摘要: An airfoil defining a span extending between a root and a tip and a chord at each point along the span extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil includes a frangible airfoil portion at the tip extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge and extending between the tip and a frangible line along the span. The frangible airfoil portion includes an exterior surface. The exterior surface at least partially defines at least one fusion cavity at least partially defining the frangible line. The airfoil further includes a residual airfoil portion extending from the frangible line to the root along the span. The residual airfoil portion meets the frangible airfoil portion at the frangible line. As such, the frangible airfoil portion deforms or partially or fully detaches relative to the residual airfoil portion at the frangible line following an event creating imbalance.
