摘要:
A turbine exhaust case for a turbofan engine comprises a plurality of arcuate acoustic panels assembled into a circumferentially extending inner shroud with circumferential gaps between adjacent acoustic panels. An outer shroud extends circumferentially about the inner shroud. The inner shroud and the outer shroud define an annular gaspath therebetween. A plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart exhaust struts extends radially across the annular gaspath and structurally connects the individual acoustic panels forming the inner shroud to the outer shroud.

An exhaust mixer for a gas turbine engine includes an annular wall having upstream end adapted to be fastened to an engine case and a downstream end forming a plurality of inner and outer mixer lobes. A support member interconnects at least a number of the inner lobes, and includes a circumferentially extending stiffener ring located radially inwardly from the inner lobes and a series of circumferentially spaced apart mixer struts radially extending from the inner lobes to the stiffener ring. The mixer struts have a radial length at least equal to a width of a main gas path defined between the inner lobes and the exhaust cone such that the mixer struts extend entirely through the main gas path. The stiffener ring being fixed solely to the mixer struts such as to float with respect to the exhaust cone and permit relative movement therebetween.
摘要:
A seal arrangement for segmented turbine components comprises a sealing strip and a resilient cord element compressed against the strip to provide positive loading of the strip against the segment sealing faces. The sealing strip and the resilient cord element are engaged in confronting cavities defined in the end faces of adjacent segments. The resilient cord element is commonly held by both segments in a compressed state against the sealing strip.

Methods of combined ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging are provided. In some embodiments, the methods may be used to determine the location or positioning of a metal object in a sample. In other embodiments, the methods may be used to determine the composition of a sample surrounding a metal object. Other methods are also provided.
摘要:
A turbine exhaust case comprises inner and outer annular shrouds defining therebetween an annular hot gaspath. A circumferential array of exhaust struts extends across the gaspath. The exhaust struts are mounted at one radial end thereof on a flexible strut mounting structure. The flexible strut mounting structure is radially deflectable relative to the outer and inner shrouds to accommodate thermal expansion of the exhaust struts during engine operation.

A moored buoy floating at the ocean surface and anchored to the seafloor precisely measures acceleration, pitch, roll, and Earth's magnetic flux field of the buoy over a limited sampling period. The system includes: 1) A buoy, 2) A mooring system, 3) An electronic data logger controlling communications between the system and the on-board remote telecommunications system, 4) an embedded computer for data input/output, temporary or permanent data storage, and algorithms to convert the measured time series data into surface ocean wave spectra and quality assurance statistics and encode the results for transfer to the data logger, 5) Sensors include one or three acceleration sensors, three orthogonal angular rate sensors, and three orthogonal magnetometers to measure the Earth's magnetic flux field, 6) A telecommunications system that links the buoy data logger and a shoreside processing system, and 7) A shoreside processing system that decodes the transmitted data, performs, quality control, and computes derived wave parameters.
摘要:
A turbine exhaust case for a gas turbine engine has an outer shroud and an inner shroud concentrically defining therebetween an annular gaspath for channelling hot gases. A plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart turbine exhaust struts extends radially across the hot gaspath. The inner shroud may be provided in the form of an acoustic panel. The acoustic panel has a radially outwardly facing surface defining the radially inner flow boundary surface of the gaspath. The acoustic panel is mechanically fastened to the radially inner end of the struts.
摘要:
A vane structure of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of vanes extending radially between outer and inner shrouds. At least the outer shroud is formed substantially from a single-piece annular skin of sheet metal. A plurality of reinforcing plates are placed against and are affixed to an outer surface of the skin of the outer shroud in respective joining locations where a radial outer end of each of the respective vanes joins the skin.
