A turbine component assembly is disclosed, including a first component, a second component, and a cantilever spring. The first component is arranged to be disposed adjacent to a hot gas path, and includes a ceramic matrix composite composition. The second component is adjacent to the first component and arranged to be disposed distal from the hot gas path across the first component. The cantilever spring is attached directly to the second component as a compliant contact interface between the first component and the second component. The cantilever spring provides a radial spring compliance between the first component and the second component. During operation, the cantilever spring directly contacts and supports the first component.

A sliding joint in a gas turbine engine between a large exit duct of a combustor and a turbine vane assembly having a leading edge lug. The sliding joint has an elongated flexible arm extending between a first end joined to the distal flange and an opposed free second end disposed radially inward of the distal flange. The flexible arm has a first surface and a second surface spaced radially inward from the first surface. A spacer on the first surface of the flexible arm projects radially away toward the distal flange. The spacer defines a gap and axially displaces with respect to the lug upon thermal expansion of the large exit duct. The leading edge lug of the turbine vane assembly is disposed in the gap, and the second end of the flexible arm is disposed radially inward of the leading edge lug.

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.

The present application provides a combustor. The combustor may include a fuel supply line, a fuel nozzle, and a number of flow-device pathways connecting the fuel supply line and the fuel nozzle. The flow-device pathways may include a counter-swirl configuration.

A gas turbine engine combustion chamber includes upstream and downstream ring structures and a plurality of circumferentially arranged combustion chamber segments. Each segment extends the full length of the combustion chamber and each segment is secured to the upstream ring structure and is mounted on the downstream ring structure. The upstream end of each combustion chamber segment includes a surface having a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending holes and the upstream ring structure having a plurality of circumferentially spaced holes extending radially through a portion abutting the surface of the upstream end of each combustion chamber segment. Each combustion chamber segment being removably secured to the upstream ring structure by a plurality of fasteners locatable in the holes in the combustion chamber segment and corresponding holes in the upstream ring structure.

A gas turbine engine component assembly includes a ceramic component having a first thermal characteristic. A metallic component has a second thermal characteristic. A bonding material secures the ceramic component to the metallic component. The bonding material includes at least one of a transient liquid phase bond and a partial transient liquid phase bond. The bonding material is configured to withstand a shear stress parameter relating to a differential between the first and second thermal characteristics.

An apparatus and method for mounting a combustion liner within a flow sleeve of a gas turbine combustion system is disclosed. A mounting system comprises a plurality of low-profile mounting tabs secured to a combustion liner where each of the mounting tabs are placed within slots of flow sleeve pegs when the combustion liner is installed in a flow sleeve. A plurality of liner stop brackets are removably secured to a flange of the flow sleeve and have an arm extending to be adjacent to a top contact surface of the mounting tabs. The mounting system reduces blockage to the surrounding airflow.

A combustion chamber includes at least one annular wall which includes at least one box like structure and each box like structure includes an inner wall, outer wall, upstream end wall and downstream end wall. The inner wall is spaced radially from the outer wall and the outer wall has a plurality of apertures for the supply of coolant into the box like structure. The inner wall, the outer wall, the upstream end wall and the downstream end wall are integral. The upstream end of the annular wall has features to secure the annular wall to an upstream ring structure and a downstream end of the annular wall has features to mount the annular wall on a downstream ring structure. The inner wall has at least one slot extending through the full thickness of the inner wall to accommodate differential thermal expansion between the inner wall and the outer wall.

A combustor liner panel attachment assembly. The assembly includes a first liner extending from a first end to a second end, and circumferentially to partially define a combustion zone. The assembly also includes a second liner disposed circumferentially adjacent to the first liner. The assembly further includes a radial support having a shoulder in contact with a radially inner surface of each of the first liner and the second liner to radially retain the first liner and the second liner, the radial support allowing the first liner and the second liner to thermally grow axially.

The present invention enables machining to be easily performed and reduces stress concentration on a machined hole that is formed in a cylindrical member. Recesses (2) recessed in the depth direction of a machined hole (1) are formed on circumferential side-portions of the machined hole 1 formed in a cylindrical member (10). In each of the recesses (2), a part of the opening edge is formed to be a circular arc portion (2a) that has a circular arc shape, the bottom is formed to be gradually shallowed by an inclined surface (2c) toward an opened portion (2b) in which the circular arc shape is opened, from a part along the circular arc portion (2a), and the circular arc portion (2a) is disposed toward the machined hole (1).
