11506068 · 2022-11-22 · ·

Turbine engine assembly comprising: an external casing (28) of a low-pressure compressor (4), an annular wall (30) and an oil tank (46) with a circular chamber (48) around an axis (14) of the compressor. The wall (30) comprises an inner surface (38) delimiting an primary guide path for the flow of the compressor, and an external surface (40) radially opposite the inner surface and delimiting the internal chamber (48) of the tank (46).

Shape memory alloy reinforced casing

A casing for a bearing of a gas turbine engine includes a shaft extending along an axial direction. The casing includes an attachment feature at a radially outermost portion of the casing. The attachment feature is configured to be coupled to a static frame of the gas turbine engine. The casing further includes a plurality of support arms extend from the attachment feature to a radially innermost portion of the casing. At least one support arm of the plurality of support arms defines an internal cavity. Further, the radially innermost portion of the casing is configured to be coupled to an outer race of the bearing. The casing additionally includes a reinforcing member housed at least partially within the internal cavity of at least one support arm. Moreover, the reinforcing member includes a shape memory alloy material.
