    Abstract: A seal assembly for a turbomachine includes a rotating component, a non-rotating component having a ring carrier, a face seal ring, and a joint disposed between the ring carrier and the non-rotating component. The non-rotating component is arranged with the rotating component at a sealing interface. The joint is capable of linear and tilt displacement to allow the non-rotating component to displace with respect to the rotating component. The sealing interface defines a gap between the face seal ring and the rotating component. The seal assembly also includes at least one damping element arranged with the ring carrier for maintaining the seal assembly centrally in a radial direction in the turbomachine. Further, the damping element(s) includes at least one mass element.

    Abstract: An inlet duct for a nacelle of a ducted fan engine includes an inlet portion at an upstream end of the inlet duct, an acoustic liner arranged downstream of the inlet portion, and a fan section arranged downstream of the acoustic liner. The inlet portion and the acoustic liner are coupled together at an inlet-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct, and the acoustic liner and the fan section are coupled together at a fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface extending circumferentially about the inner surface of the inlet duct. At least one of the acoustic liner, the inlet-acoustic liner interface, and the fan section hardwall-acoustic liner interface having a structure that circumferentially alters a magnitude and a phase of an acoustic wave reflection of the inlet duct to attenuate flutter bite of a fan.

    Abstract: A vibration dampening system includes a vibration dampening element for a turbine nozzle or blade. A body opening extends through the turbine nozzle or blade, e.g., through the airfoil among potentially other parts of the nozzle or blade. A vibration dampening element includes a plurality of stacked damper pins within the body opening. The damper pins include an outer body having an inner opening, a first end surface and an opposing second end surface; and an inner body nested and movable within the inner opening of the outer body. The end surfaces frictionally engage to dampen vibration. The inner body has a first central opening including a first portion configured to engage an elongated body therein and an outer surface configured to frictionally engage a portion of the inner opening of the outer body to dampen vibration.
