  • Patent number: 8740553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle stage for a turbomachine compressor, the stage comprising two coaxial shrouds, a radially inner shroud and a radially outer shroud, and radial vanes extending between the shrouds and being connected via their ends to the shrouds, together with a support for abradable material that is mounted by crimping onto the upstream and downstream edges of the inner shroud, the inner shroud presenting openings in which the radially inner ends of the vanes are inserted and fastened. The radially inner ends of the vanes are plane and do not have any projecting tenons.

  • Patent number: 8137073
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine blade comprising an aerodynamic surface made of a composite material and extending in a first direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and in a second direction between a root and a tip of the blade. The blade includes solid metal reinforcement that is adhesively bonded to the leading edge of its aerodynamic surface, which reinforcement extends along the first direction beyond the leading edge of the aerodynamic surface and along the second direction between the root and the tip, and includes at least one recess for absorbing at least a portion of the energy that results from an impact of a foreign body against the leading edge of the blade.

  • Publication number: 20090060745
    Abstract: A shim (20) for a turbomachine blade (14), the shim comprising two branches (20A) for coming against bearing surfaces (16A) of the blade rotor (16), and a base part (20B) interconnecting the branches. The shim presents, at least in its branches (20A), a multilayer structure having at least three layers (31, 32, 33) that are fastened to one another and superposed in the following order: a first layer (31) of a first material; a second layer (32) of a second material; and a third layer (33) of a third material that is optionally different from the first material, said first and third materials presenting respective first and third Young's moduluses of values E and E? at any arbitrary operating temperature in the operating temperature range of the shim, and said second material presenting a second Young's modulus of value lying in the range E/20 to E/5 and in the range E?/20 to E?/5 at said operating temperature.

  • Publication number: 20090016890
    Abstract: A turbomachine rotor assembly comprising: a rotor disk (2) presenting slots (4) in its outer periphery; blades (14) fastened via their roots (16) in said slot (4); and shims (20) mounted between the blade roots (16) and the disk (2), each shim (20) comprising two branches (20A) and a base part (20B) interconnecting the branches, each branch (20A) being disposed between the bearing surface (16A) of a blade root (16) and the corresponding bearing surface (22A) of the disk (2); each branch (20A) being made of a first material presenting a first Young's modulus of value E, at any operating temperature in the operating temperature range of the shim (20). The rotor assembly includes pads (40) adhering to the bearing surfaces (22A) of the disk and/or to the bearing surfaces (16A) of the blade root, the pads (40) being made of a second material presenting a second Young's modulus of value lying in the range E/20 to E/5 at said operating temperature.
