    Abstract: A method for qualifying a gas turbine engine component includes creating a first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components via a uniform manufacturing procedure, determining a set of as-manufactured parameters of each gas turbine engine component in the first set, and determining a variance model of the first set. The variance model includes a representative parameter profile, which includes a plurality of component parameter profiles. The sum of each of the component parameter profiles is the representative parameter profile. The method also includes determining at least one predicted response models based at least in part on the variance model, identifying as-manufactured parameters of a second engine component, applying the as-manufactured parameters of the second engine component to the at least one predicted response models, thereby generating a predicted response output, and qualifying the second engine component for usage in at least one gas turbine engine corresponding to the at least one predicted response model.

    Abstract: A sealing structure for a gas turbine engine includes a rotor that has a rim with slots and a cooling passage. The rotor is rotatable about an axis. First and second blades are arranged in the slots and respectively including first and second shelves facing one another within a pocket that is in fluid communication with the cooling passage. The first and second shelves form an opening. A reversible seal is arranged within the pocket and has a body that is configured for operative association with the first and second blades in any of four orientations to seal the opening in a first condition. The seal includes first and second protrusions respectively extending from first and second faces opposing one another. The first protrusions supported on the rim in a first condition.

    Abstract: An airfoil stage of a turbine engine includes an upstream airfoil assembly, a downstream airfoil assembly in rotational relationship to the upstream airfoil assembly and a rim seal assembly integrated therebetween. The rim seal assembly may include a sloped downstream portion of a platform of the upstream airfoil assembly, an upstream segment of a platform of the downstream airfoil assembly and a nub that projects radially outward from the upstream segment. The downstream portion and the upstream segment are spaced from one-another defining a cooling cavity therebetween for the flow of cooling air. The portion and segment overlap axially such that the nub is axially aligned to the downstream portion for improved cooling effectiveness and a reduction of core airflow into the cooling cavity.

    Abstract: A qualification system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, a correlation system configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. The computer system also includes a qualification module configured to generate a qualification formula based on the predictive model. The qualification formula is configured to receive a set of measured parameters of an as-manufactured gas turbine engine component and determine when the as manufactured gas turbine engine component is qualified for inclusion in at least one engine.
