  • Patent number: 11280494
    Abstract: An assembly for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine. The assembly comprises an annular shell extending along a longitudinal axis, the shell having an inner wall intended to be turned towards a furnace of the combustion chamber and an outer wall opposite the inner wall and a projecting element extending radially from an area of the outer wall. The shell has at least one deflector projecting from the outer wall and located downstream of the projecting element with respect to a direction of gas flow along the outer wall, oriented along the longitudinal axis. The deflector extends circumferentially. Perforations are provided axially between the projecting element and the or each deflector.

  • Patent number: 11047259
    Abstract: The thermal shrinkage of a casing (2) to regulate as best as possible the internal play between the rotor and the stator is carried out by a ring (4) fixed onto the skin (2) rather than by a circular ramp at a distance therefrom. The ring (4) comprises, between a collection box (8) and the skin (2), a foraminous plate (7), placed on an opening of the box (8) parallel to the skin (2) and at a short distance, in order to impose invariable and known ventilation conditions.

  • Patent number: 8500410
    Abstract: A blade made of composite material including an airfoil formed of filaments or fibers, optionally woven, impregnated with a heat-curable resin, with an intrados wall and an extrados wall between the leading edge and the trailing edge; and a device for damping the vibrations incorporated in one or other of the intrados and extrados walls is disclosed. The damping device is formed of at least one layer made of viscoelastic material and a layer made of rigid material, these layers being superposed. The layer made of rigid material includes a first zone and a second zone. The layer made of viscoelastic material is interposed between the airfoil and the first zone of the rigid layer, and the second zone of the rigid layer is attached to the wall of the airfoil without interposition of viscoelastic material.

  • Patent number: 8197190
    Abstract: A lever for rotating about its pivot a turbomachine variable-pitch stator vane: including a first zone for attachment to a lever drive member, a second zone for attachment to the variable-pitch stator vane, and a third zone of elongate shape between the first zone and the second zone is disclosed. A vibration-damping laminate is applied to at least one surface portion of at least one of the zones of the lever. The laminate includes at least one layer of viscoelastic material in contact with the surface portion and a backing layer of rigid material.

  • Publication number: 20100232974
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a blade made of composite material (100) comprising an airfoil (100A) formed of filaments or fibers, optionally woven, impregnated with a heat-curable resin, with an intrados wall and an extrados wall between the leading edge and the trailing edge. It is characterized in that a device for damping the vibrations is incorporated in one or other of the intrados and extrados walls, and is formed of at least one layer made of viscoelastic material (111) and a layer made of rigid material (110), these layers being superposed. According to one embodiment, the layer made of rigid material comprises a first zone (1101) and a second zone (1102), the layer made of viscoelastic material (111) being interposed between the airfoil and said first zone (1101) of the rigid layer (110), and said second zone (1102) of the rigid layer being attached to the wall of the airfoil (100A) without interposition of viscoelastic material.

  • Publication number: 20090074569
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lever for rotating about its pivot a turbomachine variable-pitch stator vane comprising three zones: a first zone for attachment to a lever drive member, a second zone for attachment to said variable-pitch stator vane, and a third zone of elongate shape between the first zone and the second zone, wherein a vibration-damping laminate is applied to at least one surface portion of at least one of said zones of the lever, the laminate comprising at least one layer of viscoelastic material in contact with said surface portion and a backing layer of rigid material.
