    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining an axial centerline, a longitudinal direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The gas turbine engine includes one or more frames in which the frame defines an inner ring and an outer ring generally concentric to the inner ring about the axial centerline. The frame defines a plurality of struts extended outward along the radial direction from the inner ring to the outer ring. One or more struts define one or more service passages extended at least partially along the radial direction within the strut, and wherein the inner ring, the outer ring, and the struts together define an integral structure.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas-lubricated bearing assembly for a gas turbine engine and method of damping same. The bearing assembly includes a bearing pad for supporting a rotary component and a bearing housing attached to or formed integrally with the bearing pad. The bearing housing includes a first fluid damper cavity, a second fluid damper cavity in restrictive flow communication with the first fluid damper cavity via a restrictive channel configured as a clearance gap, and a damper fluid configured within the first and second fluid damper cavities. More specifically, the damper fluid of the present disclosure is configured to withstand the high temperature environment of the engine. Thus, the bearing housing is configured to transfer the damper fluid from the first fluid damper cavity to the second fluid damper cavity via the restrictive channel in response to a force acting on the bearing pad.

    Abstract: A bearing includes a bearing pad for supporting a rotary component and a housing attached to or formed integrally with the bearing pad. The housing includes a flexible column extending towards the bearing pad for providing the bearing pad with an airflow. The column supports the bearing pad from a location inward of an outer periphery of the bearing pad along an axial direction of the bearing. With such a configuration, a resistance of the bearing pad along a radial direction of the bearing is less at the outer periphery than a resistance of the bearing pad along the radial direction proximate the column.

    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system for printing a three-dimensional part is provided. The additive manufacturing system can include a mobile housing defining a front housing section and rear housing section; a photoreceptor drum defining a drum outer surface; a charging electrode positioned to apply electrostatic charge to the photoreceptor drum outer surface; a laterally stationary platform disposed outside the mobile housing adjacent the workpart and having at least one charged transfer electrode; a controller circuit for traversing the mobile housing about the workpart while selectively applying at least one laser diode emission onto the photoreceptor drum to expose a layer definition on the photoreceptor drum outer surface; front and rear microwave emitters disposed inside the mobile housing for fusing the respective metal print layers; and front and rear induction coils disposed inside the mobile housing for heating the workpart.
