Abstract: A method and system to receive a specification defining a model of a part to be produced by an additive manufacturing (AM) process; define a design space to enclose the part and a support structure for the part, the support structure to support the part and printed with the part during the AM process; execute an iterative topology optimization(TO) based at least in part on the specification for the part and the defined design space, to generate a TO support structure that counteracts predicted gravity-based distortions during the AM process; save a record of the generated TO support structure; and transmit the record of the TO support structure to an AM controller, the AM controller to control an AM system to generate an instance of the part and the TO support structure based on the record.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a shroud assembly for a gas turbine. The shroud assembly includes a casing and a shroud. The shroud includes a radially outer wall engaged with the casing. A radially inner wall integrally couples to the radially outer wall. The radially inner wall and the radially outer wall collectively define a pair of axially opposed cavities. The radially inner wall moves radially outward toward the casing when one or more gas turbine blades contact the radially inner wall.

Abstract: The turbomachine includes a rotatable member defining an axis of rotation and an inner annular casing extending circumferentially over at least a portion of the rotatable member. The inner annular casing includes a radially outer surface. The turbomachine further includes an outer annular casing extending over at least a portion of the inner annular casing. The inner annular casing and the outer annular casing define a plurality of cavities therebetween. The clearance control system includes a manifold system including a plurality of conduits extending circumferentially about the inner annular casing and disposed within the cavities. The clearance control system also includes an impingement system extending circumferentially about the inner annular casing and disposed within the cavities. The conduits are configured to channel a flow of cooling fluid to the impingement system which is configured to channel the cooling fluid to the radially outer surface of the inner annular casing.

Abstract: Coating systems for components of a gas turbine engine, such as a compressor blade tip, are provided. The coating system can include a ceramic material disposed along the compressor blade tip and may be used with a bare compressor casing. The ceramic coating is harder than the bare compressor casing and can reduce the rub ratio thereby increasing the lifetime of the compressor blades. Methods are also provided for applying the coating system onto a compressor blade.
