Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture corresponding to a fan blade with intrinsic damping characteristics are disclosed. An example fan blade comprises an exterior body including a first side and a second side; a first hairpin structure in contact with (a) the first side of the exterior body and (b) the second side of the exterior body; and a second hairpin structure in contact with (a) the first side and (b) the second side, wherein the first hairpin structure corresponds to a first stiffness and the second hairpin structure corresponds to a second stiffness different than the first stiffness.

Abstract: An airfoil for gas turbine engines is generally provided. The airfoil defines a span extending between a root and a tip, the airfoil further defines a chord at each point along the span extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Further, the airfoil includes at least one frangible airfoil portion, a residual airfoil portion adjacent to the at least one frangible airfoil portion, and one or more zones. The one or more zones may include a plurality of cavities, where at least one or more cavities of the plurality of cavities include inclusions, with the inclusions having one or more materials.

Abstract: A system and method of using a tool assembly is provided. The system includes a body, a first camera and a second camera fixed to the body, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of images of a reference feature from the first camera, determine data indicative of a first spatial position of the first camera based at least in part on the received data indicative of the images of the reference feature, and determine data indicative of a second spatial position of the second camera based on the first spatial position, a known spatial relationship between the first location and the second location, or both. Further, the controller may be configured to receive data indicative of images of a target feature using the second camera, derive dimensions of the target feature based on the images, and generate a three-dimensional representation of the target feature.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan assembly, a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement, and defining an engine centerline. Sets of fan blades within the fan assembly can be rotatably driven about the engine centerline within a casing wall. A fan blade tip clearance is defined as a gap between the set of fan blades and the fan casing assembly. A clearance measurement system including a pad with one or more integrated sensors provides for measuring the gap.
