A cross-sectional dimension of the one or more wall-apertures defining the pathway between the antecedent resonant space and the subsequent resonant space may be less than a cross-sectional dimension of the antecedent resonant space and/or a cross-sectional dimension of the subsequent resonant space. The array may include a plurality of partitioned resonant cells that have a partition integrally formed with at least one of a corresponding one or more cell walls and transecting the corresponding resonant space with at least one surface of the partition having an interface angle that is oblique or perpendicular relative to a plane parallel to a top face and/or a bottom face of the array of resonant cells.
Case-integrated turbomachine wheel containment
Various systems and methods are provided for a shroud of a turbomachine. In one example, a turbomachine includes a case and a rotor rotatably coupled to the case and configured to transfer energy between the rotor and a working fluid. The case includes a shroud housing the rotor, the shroud including an inner shell, an outer shell, and a lattice structure positioned between the inner shell and the outer shell.
GAS TURBINE STATOR
The invention is related to the gas turbine stators of the gas turbine engines applied in aviation. The gas turbine stator, in the outer housing of which sectors of the split honeycomb ring (made as double-layer one) are installed with support elements on the front and rear axial ends of the sector. In this invention, the layer of the sector facing the outer housing is made U-shaped in the plane, the support elements are made as separate rotary bodies distributed uniformly along the circumference and the front support elements (on the gas flow direction) are larger than rear ones in terms of geometrical dimensions by factor 1.1 . . . 1.5. Therefore, the implementation of the invention proposed with the characteristic features above, in conjunction with the known features of the invention claimed enables reduction of the gas turbine stator weight and improvement its reliability without compromising the turbine efficiency.

COMPOSITE-MATERIAL CASING HAVING AN INTEGRATED STIFFENER
A method for manufacturing a composite-material casing for a gas turbine, includes producing by three-dimensional weaving a fiber texture in the form of a strip, winding of the fiber texture around several superimposed turns on a mandrel with a profile corresponding to that of the casing to be manufactured in order to obtain a fiber preform of a shape corresponding to that of the casing to be manufactured, and densifying the fiber preform by a matrix. During the winding of the last turn of the fiber texture on the mandrel, at least one stiffening element is interposed between the before-last turn and the last turn of the fiber texture. The stiffening element projects over the outer surface of the before-last turn of the fiber texture. The stiffening element has an axial section of omega-type shape.
