Abstract: A section for a gas turbine engine includes a rotating structure, a stationary structure, and a flow guide assembly arranged generally between the rotating structure and the stationary structure. A flow path is defined between the flow guide assembly and one of the rotating structure and the stationary structure. The flow guide assembly includes a plurality of apertures configured to disrupt acoustic waves of air in the flow path. A seal is configured to establish a sealing relationship between the rotating structure and the stationary structure, and wherein an inlet to the flow path is adjacent the seal. A gas turbine engine and a method of disrupting acoustic waves in a flow path of a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydrostatic seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components is provided. The seal includes a seal housing. The seal also includes a shoe extending axially from a forward end to an aft end to define an axial length, the shoe cantilevered to the seal housing at one of the forward end and the aft end, the shoe free at the other end.

Abstract: An actively controlled squeeze film damper system comprises a housing defining an annulus receiving a damping fluid during operation, a lubricant source supplying damping fluid to the annulus, and a sensor assembly for measuring a parameter indicative of a compressibility of the damping fluid. A control device adjusts the compressibility of the damping fluid within a predefined range.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine may include a liftoff carbon seal assembly. Liftoff carbon seal assembly may include a static seal support structure, a magnetic carrier spring assembly coupled to the static seal support structure, a nonferrous metal slab magnetically associated with the magnetic carrier spring assembly and coupled to the static seal support structure. In various embodiments, a combination of the magnetic carrier spring assembly and the nonferrous metal slab create a counter-force using an eddy current to oppose a motion of the magnetic carrier spring assembly.

Abstract: An aeromechanical identification system for turbomachine includes at least one actuator mounted on a stationary structure to excite rotatable airfoils. At least one sensor is mounted proximate the airfoils for measuring a response of the airfoils responsive to excitation from the at least one actuator. A controller is configured to determine a damping characteristic of an aeromechanical mode of the rotating airfoils based on the excitation and the response. A gas turbine engine and a method of determining a flutter boundary for an airfoil of a turbomachine are also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine comprises a fan rotor having fan blades received within an outer nacelle. The fan blades are provided with at least a first type having a first natural frequency, and a second type having a second natural frequency. The fan rotor has a first mount structure intended for the first type and a distinct second mount structure intended for the second type. The first type of fan blade fits into the first mount structure intended for the first type, but there is a first obstruction preventing the first type of fan blade from being placed into the second mount structure intended for the second type. The second type of fan blade fits into the second mount structure intended for the second type, but there is a second obstruction preventing the second type of fan blade from being placed into the first mount structure intended for the first type.

Abstract: A hydrostatic seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components includes a base. The seal also includes a seal housing. The seal further includes a shoe operatively coupled to the base and extending axially from a forward end to an aft end. The seal yet further includes a plurality of teeth extending radially from a sealing surface of the shoe, one of the teeth being a longest tooth that extends furthest radially from the sealing surface, the axial distance from the forward end of the shoe to the longest tooth being greater than a radial distance from a radial tooth tip to the sealing surface.

Abstract: A fluid damping structure is provided that includes an inner and outer annular elements, first and second ring seals, first and second outer annular seals. The inner annular element has an outer radial surface and a plurality of annular grooves disposed in the outer radial surface. The outer annular element has an inner radial surface. A damping chamber is defined by the inner and outer annular elements, and the first and second inner ring seal. A first lateral chamber is disposed on a first axial side of the damping chamber. A second lateral chamber is disposed on a second axial side of the damping chamber. A plurality of fluid passages are disposed in at least one of the inner annular element or the inner ring seals. The fluid damping structure is configurable in an open configuration and a closed configuration.
