Abstract: A sealing arrangement for sealing a gap between two components which bear flat against one another on the gap side and which can be assembled only by transverse movement, wherein each component has a step on the gap side to form an overlapping stop and the steps are curved along their edges. One of the two components has a first groove which extends in a manner analogous to the curved edge and which is arranged in the set-back partial surface of the gap side of the component in question. The other of the two components has a recess located opposite the groove, and a modular sealing element comprising a sealing strip and a spiral strip is provided, which bears with its first sealing section, protruding from the groove, against a side face of the recess.

Abstract: A stator blade carrier for a gas turbine is provided. The stator blade carrier includes a plurality of axial segments. At least one axial segment is designed as a tubular lattice structure. This allows a simpler design technically and a more flexible adaptation to the temperature profile present on the stator blade carrier to maintain operational safety.

Abstract: An axial turbo-compressor for a gas turbine having a stator vane assembly that is formed by stator vanes having vane tips exposed on the hub side and a stationary shaft cover on the hub side and delimits the flow channel of the axial compressor is provided. A radial gap is designed between the shaft cover and the van tips that is minimally sized such that the axial turbo-compressor may still be assembled, and there is a plurality of recesses in the shaft cover, wherein one of the recesses is allocated to each vane tip that is arranged directly neighboring the vane tip allocated thereto and is sized such that during operation of the axial turbo compressor every vane tip may be plunged into the recess allocated thereto without one of the vane tips significantly contacting the shaft cover.

Abstract: An axial compressor for a gas turbine having passive radial gap control is provided. The axial compressor includes a guide vane support on which guide vanes are fastened so as to be arranged in a ring, wherein the vane tips of the guide vanes lie opposite a wall section. Thermal insulation is attached to the wall section in the section lying opposite the vane tips in order to equalize the expansion behavior of the guide vane support and the wall section, which by themselves react thermally in different manners, wherein the terminal insulation is matched in the heat input delay effect thereof to the wall section and to the guide vane support in such a way that the thermal expansion behavior of the guide vane support and the wall section is at least equalized over time during transient operation of the axial compressor.

Abstract: New polyaspartimide compositions and methods of forming and using those compositions arc provided. The compositions are formed by reacting a bismaleimide and diamine in a solvent-free environment. The resulting polyaspartimide comprising recurring monomers of The compositions have properties desirable for use as shape memory polymers as well as in composite products that are useful for building components present in airplanes.
