Abstract: An inner diffuser case for a gas turbine engine may include a pre-diffuser including a plurality of struts. At least one of the struts may include an aperture therethrough. A cone may have a downstream end coupled to the pre-diffuser downstream of, and proximate to, the aperture. A skirt may have a forward end coupled to the pre-diffuser downstream of, and proximate to, the aperture. The forward end of the skirt may be axially aligned with the downstream end of the cone.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a gas turbine engine includes the steps of: (a) receiving information from actual flights of an aircraft including an engine to be monitored, and including at least one of the ambient temperature at takeoff, and internal engine pressures, temperatures and speeds; (b) evaluating the damage accumulated on an engine component given the data received in step (a); (c) storing the determined damage from step (b); (d) repeating steps (a)-(c); (e) recommending a suggested future use for the component based upon steps (a)-(d). A system is also disclosed.

Abstract: An outer diffuser case of a diffuser case assembly for use in a gas turbine engine may have a housing orientated about an engine axis, a forward flange projecting radially outward from the housing, a mid-flange spaced axially aft of the forward flange and projecting radially inward from the housing, and an aft flange projecting radially outward from the housing. The mid flange is spaced axially between the forward and aft flanges and is configured to detachably engage an inner diffuser case of the case assembly. The forward flange is configured to detachably engage a high pressure compressor and the aft flange is configured to detachably engage a high pressure turbine of the engine.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine and a flange are disclosed. The gas turbine engine includes a case, and a flange coupled to the case, the flange including a flange body, a fastener hole formed through the flange body, the fastener hole configured to receive a fastener, a radial slot formed through the flange body, wherein the radial slot is adjacent to the fastener hole, the radial slot defines a first portion of the flange body and a second portion of the flange body, and the radial slot prevents transfer of a hoop stress between the first portion and the second portion.

Abstract: A case is provided for a gas turbine engine. The case includes a wall defining a through-hole. The case also includes first and second pockets adjacent to, and on opposite sides, of the through hole. A method of reducing stress in a case of a gas turbine engine is also provided that includes reducing stress about a through-hole by providing a concavity on each side of the through-hole.

Abstract: A pre-diffuser of an inner diffuser case of a gas turbine engine may comprise an annular outer wall and an annular inner wall radially inside of the annular outer wall to define a passage for primary airflow therebetween. The pre-diffuser may further comprise at least one strut extending radially between the annular inner wall and the annular outer wall and at least one aperture formed in the strut that extends radially through the strut, the annular inner wall, and the annular outer wall. The pre-diffuser may further comprise at least one hollow cavity formed in the strut, and the hollow cavity may be separate from the aperture.
