Abstract: An epicyclic gearbox is configured to transfer rotational motion between a first rotating component and a second rotating component of the gas turbine engine. The gearbox includes a centrally located sun gear, two or more planet gears circumscribing the sun gear, and a ring gear circumscribing the plurality of planet gears. The gearbox is configured such that the sun gear is drivingly coupled to the first rotating component, such that rotation of the sun gear causes rotation of each planet gear, and such that the ring gear rotates relative to the plurality of planet gears. The gearbox includes one or more shape memory alloy dampers provided in association with the sun gear, the ring gear, and/or the plurality of planet gears. The shape memory alloy damper(s) is configured in order to reduce vibrations transferred through the epicyclic gearbox to the frame, the first rotating component, and/or the second rotating component.

Abstract: A mixing assembly includes a pilot mixer and a main mixer. The main mixer includes a main housing, a fuel manifold positioned between a pilot housing and the main housing, a mixer foot extending outward from a forward end of the main housing, and a main swirler body including a plurality of vanes. The main swirler body surrounds the main housing and defines an annular mixing channel between the main housing and the main swirler body, and being coupled to the mixer foot. An annular main fuel ring extends axially aft from the mixer foot into the annular mixing channel. The mixer foot extends farther from the main housing than the main fuel ring. At least one of the mixer foot or the main fuel ring includes a plurality of fuel injection ports positioned to discharge fuel into a central portion of the annular mixing channel.
