  • Prestressed combustor liner for gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 4422300
    Abstract: The walls of the liner of a gas turbine combustor are segmented and disposed axially and circumferentially to define a combustion chamber. The liner is formed by radially spaced walls preferably fabricated from a ceramic or other high temperature brittle material. The wall adjacent the hot combustion products is prestressed at room temperature and the juxtaposed wall is cooperatively shaped to define a supporting frame for the prestressed wall so as to minimize the overall stresses occasioned in the hostile environment to which the prestressed wall is subjected.
