Abstract: A damper seal for a gas turbine engine includes a damper body extending in a first direction between a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion, extending in a second direction between first and second sidewalls, and extending in a third direction between a convex outer damper face and a concave inner damper face. The inner damper face establishes a damper pocket. The leading and trailing edge portions slope inwardly from opposite ends of the damper body to bound the damper pocket in the first direction. The first and second sidewalls extend from the leading edge portion to the trailing edge portion and slope inwardly from opposite sides of the damper body to bound the damper pocket in the second direction. The outer damper face is pre-formed according to a first predetermined geometry that substantially corresponds to a second predetermined geometry of a platform undersurface bounding a neck pocket of an airfoil. A method of damping for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: Vane assemblies are described. The vane assemblies include a platform, an airfoil extending from the platform, a forward rail extending from the platform and arranged along a forward side of the platform, and an aft rail extending from the platform and arranged along an aft side of the platform. At least one support beam is provided extending in a forward-aft direction between the forward rail and the aft rail and separated from the platform by a first distance. The at least one support beam has a thickness in a radial direction of 40% or less of a total radial extent from the platform to an outer diameter edge of at least one of the forward rail and the aft rail and the at least one support beam has a thickness in a circumferential direction of 30% or less of a total circumferential extent of vane assembly.

Abstract: A method of damping vibrations in a seal includes inserting a first wave spring between a first beam and a second beam of the seal. The seal can be for a gas turbine engine and can include a full hoop outer ring, a shoe coupled to the full hoop outer ring via the first beam (e.g., an outer beam) and the second beam (e.g., an inner beam), and the first wave spring in contact with the first beam and the second beam.
