Abstract:

A containment system for an engine includes an engine case having an inner perimeter. The containment system includes a containment ring nested within the inner perimeter of the engine case and integrally formed with the engine case along a first interface and a second interface. The containment ring includes a first leg opposite a second leg, and the first interface is defined between the first leg and the engine case. The containment system includes a first plurality of perforations defined at the first interface, and the first leg of the containment ring is frangible along the first plurality of perforations to at least partially release the containment ring to protect the engine case during a containment event.

Abstract:

A turbine nozzle for a gas turbine engine includes an outer endwall, and an inner endwall spaced apart from the outer endwall. The turbine nozzle includes at least one airfoil coupled between the inner endwall and the outer endwall, and a compliant joint defined in at least one of the outer endwall and the inner endwall. The compliant joint includes at least one partially-fused seal that is configured to restrict a flow of fluid through the at least one of the outer endwall and the inner endwall and to form a slip-joint above a predetermined threshold stress. The slip-joint is configured to maintain a radial position of the at least one of the outer endwall and the inner endwall.
