Publication number: 20170226861Abstract: A rotary assembly for a turbine engine is provided. The assembly includes a rotor with two consecutive rotor stages equipped with a plurality of movable vanes, and an annular rotor shroud connecting the two consecutive rotor stages; and a stator including a stator stage, provided with a plurality of fixed vanes and disposed between the two rotor stages, and an annular stator ring mounted on the fixed vanes. Either the rotor shroud or the stator ring bears at least one wiper designed to cooperate with an abradable track on the other of the rotor shroud and stator ring, such that the rotor shroud includes at at least one of its upstream or downstream ends an inclined contact portion resting on an inclined bearing surface of the corresponding rotor stage, the bearing surface being the outer surface of a projection extending from a base portion of the corresponding rotor stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicants: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINES, SAFRAN CERAMICSInventors: Gael Frederic Claude Cyrille EVAIN, Pierre-Louis Alexandre CARLOS, Claire Charlotte GROLEAU, Mathieu Louis Jean LEDUC, David MARSAL

Patent number: 9616629Abstract: A blade including a structure with aerodynamic profile including two opposite skins obtained by three-dimensional weaving of a fibrous reinforcement densified by a matrix, and a longeron including a fibrous reinforcement obtained by three-dimensional weaving and densified by a matrix, the longeron including a first part extending outside the structure with aerodynamic profile and designed to be connected to a drive hub in rotation of the blade and a second part arranged inside the structure with aerodynamic profile between the two skins. The second part of the longeron has a thickness substantially similar to that of the skins of the structure with aerodynamic profile. In addition, the fibrous reinforcement of the second part of the longeron has the same weaving armor as that of the reinforcement of the skins of the structure with aerodynamic profile.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Adrien Jacques Philippe Fabre, Nicolas Horn, David Marsal, Jean-Marc Claude Perrollaz

Patent number: 9528378Abstract: A turbine engine blade of composite material comprising fiber reinforcement obtained by multilayer weaving of yarns and densified by a matrix. The blade has a first portion constituting an airfoil forming a single piece with at least one second portion constituting a blade root. The fiber reinforcement portions corresponding to the first and second portions of the blade are mutually interleaved, at least in part, with yarns of the second fiber reinforcement portion penetrating into the first fiber reinforcement portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignees: SNECMA, HERAKLESInventors: Julien Mateo, Clément Roussille, David Marsal, Gilles Ansorena, Ivan Herraiz

Patent number: 8801384Abstract: An airfoil attachment including a support and flanks rising on it to delimit a broach compartment designed to receive and hold an airfoil root is provided. The flanks are machined so as to separate the portions and prevent a complete break of a flank and detachment of the airfoil when a crack develops because the crack is stopped by one of the notches.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Adrien Jacques Philippe Fabre, Jean-Noel Mahieu, David Marsal

Patent number: 8177933Abstract: A first insert (15) forming a ring is placed inside and in contact with a core (10) in degradable material. On the outer face of the core a plurality of inserts (20) is arranged each comprising a platform (21) applied against the outer face of the core and at least one blade (22) extending substantially radially outwards. A fibrous structure (56) is wound around the core passing over the platforms (21) and over the inner surface of the ring-shaped insert (15). Molding of the fibrous structure, impregnated with a composition containing a resin, is performed before polymerization of the resin and removal of the core.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Alain Foucault, Etienne Juchauld, David Marsal, Stéphane Otin

Publication number: 20110318513Abstract: A hollow part is obtained by 3D weaving and by impregnation. A preform is made by three-dimensional weaving and by ensuring partial non-interlinking during the weaving, thereby subsequently making it possible to define a cavity within the woven mass, and then to stabilize a shape of the preform during an impregnation stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: SNECMAInventors: David Marsal, Xavier Millier

Publication number: 20110217172Abstract: Airfoil attachment comprising a support (3) and flanks (13, 14) rising on it to delimit a broach compartment (15) designed to receive and hold an airfoil root. The flanks (13, 14) are machined (21, 22) so as to separate the portions (23, 24 and 25) and prevent a complete break of a flank and detachment of the airfoil when a crack develops because the crack is stopped by one of the notches.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2011Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: SNECMAInventors: Adrien Jacques Philippe FABRE, Jean-Noël MAHIEU, David MARSAL
