Turbine shroud with containment features
An assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes a carrier and a blade track segment. The carrier extends at least partway about an axis. The blade track segment is supported by the carrier radially relative to the axis to define a portion of a gas path of the assembly.
AIRFOIL WITH A SQUEALER TIP COOLING SYSTEM FOR A TURBINE BLADE, A TURBINE BLADE, A TURBINE BLADE ASSEMBLY, A GAS TURBINE AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD
The present invention provides an airfoil 110 with the squealer tip cooling system 50 for a turbine blade 100 at the blade tip 113, wherein the squealer tip cooling system 50 comprises a cooling passage 170 arranged within a squealer tip 117, wherein the cooling passage 170 at least partly extends toward a terminal end 74 of the squealer tip 117, and a pocket 172 at a lateral surface 75, 76 of the squealer tip 117, open externally and extending inwardly at least partly across the cooling passage 170. The pocket 172 intersects the cooling passage 170 and the pocket 172 comprises an impingement surface 70 facing the cooling passage 170, on which a cooling medium expelled through the cooling passage 170 impinges before being discharged externally through the pocket 172.
COOLING STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF TRAILING-EDGE CUTBACK OF TURBINE BLADE, AND TURBINE BLADE
A cooling structure on a trailing-edge cutback of a turbine blade, including a plurality of lands, a trailing edge cutback and a dimple group. Adjacent lands are arranged on wall surfaces at two sides of the trailing edge cutback. The wall surfaces are each provided with the dimple group including multiple dimples. An extension direction of at least one dimple forms an inclined angle with the land on one side, and/or an extension direction of at least one dimple forms an inclined angle with the land on the opposite side. The cooling air enters the trailing edge, and after passing through pin fins, then flows over the dimples along the cutback surface to generate a spiral vortex which is guided to the lands on both sides thereof.

VIBRATIONAL DAMPENING ELEMENTS
A vibrational dampening element is attached to a component and configured to adjust the amplitude of oscillations of the component. The vibrational dampening element includes a mass. The mass includes a main body and a member extending from the main body. A casing that encapsulates the mass. A fluidic chamber defined between the mass and the casing. A first fluidic portion is disposed between a first side of the mass and the casing. The first fluidic portion includes a first accumulator portion directly neighboring the member. A second fluidic portion is disposed between a second side of the mass and the casing. The second fluidic portion includes a second accumulator portion directly neighboring the member. The first accumulator portion is in fluid communication with the second accumulator portion. The vibrational dampening element further includes a primary passage that extends between the first fluidic portion and the second fluidic portion.
Turbine vane assembly incorporating ceramic matrix composite materials and cooling
A turbine vane assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil and a spar. The airfoil is formed to define a cavity that extends into the airfoil. The spar is located in the cavity to define a cooling passage that extends around the spar between the spar and the airfoil. The turbine vane assembly includes cooling features to aid heat transfer of the turbine vane assembly during operation in the gas turbine engine.
Controlling extent of TBC sheet spall
A method of controlling an extent of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) sheet spall and a hot gas path (HGP) component are disclosed. The method provides an HGP component having a body with an exterior surface. Controlling the extent of the TBC sheet spall includes forming a TBC over a selected portion of the exterior surface of the body. The TBC includes a plurality of segments in a cellular pattern. Each segment is defined by one or more slots in the TBC, and each segment has a predefined area such that the extent of the TBC sheet spall is limited by the predefined area of each of the plurality of segments that constitute the TBC sheet spall.
CONNECTION BETWEEN A CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE STATOR SECTOR AND A METALLIC SUPPORT OF A TURBOMACHINE TURBINE
A turbine of a turbomachine includes a ceramic matrix composite sector of a stator includes an outer platform and an inner platform connected via at least one vane, The outer platform has means for attaching to a sector of a metallic support, the attachment means having at least one central rim and two lateral rims. The central rim is radially offset with respect to said lateral rims along a directrix line such that the central rim is radially on one side of said directrix line and the lateral rims on the other. The central rim and said central hook bear radially against one another and are located radially on either side of said directrix line. The lateral rim and said corresponding lateral hook bear radially against one another and are located radially on either side of said directrix line.
Gas turbine blade
A gas turbine blade has a trench part of a film cooling unit for cooling a blade part that is formed at a tip of a film cooling hole part. As a result, cooling efficiency of the blade can be improved since the blade part is sufficiently cooled even during introduction of a large amount of cooling air, durability of the blade can be increased by inhibiting the blade from being damaged due to hot gas since the trench part is formed to have a minimum width, and efficiency of a gas turbine can be increased by an improvement in film efficiency.
