    摘要: A system and method for reducing the vibration response of a rotating system are provided. In one aspect, an optimized balance shot or solution that indicates one or more physical locations at which one or more balancing weights are to be added or removed from the rotating system is generated. The balance shot is generated based on a transfer function that is customized specifically for the rotating system. The transfer function is generated by applying one or more machine-learned models to parameter values for parameters that are associated with the rotating system. The machine-learned models can generate main effects plots, and from the plots, an effective set of parameter values can be determined. The transfer function can be generated using the effective set of parameter values so that the transfer function used to generate the balance shot is optimized specifically for the rotating system undergoing the balancing process.

    摘要: A support system for a gas turbine engine is provided. The support system includes a load-bearing unit that includes a first flange, a support element supporting the load-bearing unit and having a second flange, a fastener connecting the first flange and the second flange, a first super-elastic shape memory alloy component in contact with the first flange, and a second super-elastic shape memory alloy component in contact with the second flange. The first and the second super-elastic shape memory alloy components are configured to deform when a load exerted by the fastener exceeds a threshold load value of the fastener.

    摘要: A casing for a bearing of a gas turbine engine includes a shaft extending along an axial direction. The casing includes an attachment feature at a radially outermost portion of the casing. The attachment feature is configured to be coupled to a static frame of the gas turbine engine. The casing further includes a plurality of support arms extend from the attachment feature to a radially innermost portion of the casing. At least one support arm of the plurality of support arms defines an internal cavity. Further, the radially innermost portion of the casing is configured to be coupled to an outer race of the bearing. The casing additionally includes a reinforcing member housed at least partially within the internal cavity of at least one support arm. Moreover, the reinforcing member includes a shape memory alloy material.
