    摘要: A gas turbine engine rotor having an axis, comprising: a body about the axis having an inner surface, a seat having an outer seat edge at a first radial location surrounded by the inner surface at a second radial location, a lip along the inner surface having an inner lip edge spaced axially away from the seat to define a gap, the lip at a rated axial location between the inner lip edge and the seat facing toward the seat at a normal angle; a damper in the gap having first and second damper surfaces, the first damper surface adjacent the seat; and a split ring in the gap adjacent the second damper surface, having an outer ring edge spaced from the inner surface, engaging the lip at the rated axial location and resiliently expandable against the lip deflects the split ring to load the damper against the seat.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine assembly having a compressor configured to increase pressure of incoming air, a combustion chamber, at least one turbine coupled to a generator, a torsional damper, and a controller. The combustion chamber is configured to receive a pressurized air stream from the compressor. Further, fuel is injected into the pressurized air in the combustion chamber and ignited so as to raise a temperature and energy level of the pressurized air. The turbine is operatively coupled to the combustion chamber so as to receive combustion products that flow from the combustion chamber. The generator is coupled to the turbine via a shaft. Thus, the torsional damper is configured to dampen torsional oscillations of the generator. Moreover, the controller is configured to provide additional damping control to the generator.

    摘要: The blades for a rotor of a gas turbine engine are all manufactured to the same design. However, manufacturing tolerances mean that in practice each individual blade is different to the others. It is proposed to arrange the blades around the circumference of the rotor in a manner that limits excessive stress being induced in the blades due to differences in the vibration response between a given blade and its two neighbouring blades.

    摘要: A bracket assembly includes a first bracket arranged along a damping axis and having a clevis body, a second bracket, and a vibration isolator including an elastomeric body. The second bracket is arranged along the damping axis and has a clevis portion and a mount portion. The clevis portion slidably receives the clevis body of the first bracket. The elastomeric body is arranged axially between the first bracket and the second bracket and is fixedly arranged between the clevis portion of the second bracket and the clevis body of the first bracket through an on-axis load path and through an off-axis load path extending through the bracket assembly. Actuator arrangements and methods of damping vibrational forces are also described.

    摘要: Turbine housing assemblies and related turbocharger systems are provided. One exemplary turbine housing assembly includes a core structure having a voided inner region defining an axial outlet and an outer surface defining an inner contour of a volute and an inner sheet metal shell having an inner base portion defining an inlet in fluid communication with the volute and a volute portion defining an outer contour of the volute, wherein at least a portion of the core structure defining the axial outlet extends in an axial direction through an opening in the inner sheet metal shell defined by the volute portion. The turbine housing assembly also includes an outer sheet metal shell surrounding the volute portion and including an outer base portion circumscribing the inner base portion.
