  • Patent number: 9169743
    Abstract: A metallic annular connection structure between two parts for an aircraft turbomachine, with an arbitrary half-section including two primary branches and a base forming a first U opening up in the radial direction from a longitudinal axis, and two secondary branches forming a second U with one of the two primary branches opening up in the longitudinal direction. The primary and secondary branches and the base of the first U are made in a single piece.

  • Patent number: 9157334
    Abstract: A turbomachine for an aircraft including a mechanism forming a case fitted in a rear extension of an inner ferrule of an intermediate casing, and positioned around a central casing. The mechanism includes a structural upstream ferrule assembled on the inner ferrule and defining a front portion of a surface internally delimiting a secondary vein, and a main case extending on the upstream ferrule towards the rear. The turbomachine further includes a structural mechanism rigidifying the central casing, surrounded by the case, and extending towards the rear between the upstream ferrule and the central casing on which these mechanisms are assembled.

  • Patent number: 9121347
    Abstract: An assembly including an outer ring of an exhaust casing, a structural ring of an external duct of a fan channel and of a two-flow jet engine that is concentric relative to the outer ring of the exhaust casing, and at least one first and second linking arm or rod forming a hyperstatic link by being attached by one end to the outer ring of the exhaust casing and, by the other end, to the structural ring. The link formed by the first linking arm or rod is configured to break when a predetermined load is exceeded, and the second linking arm or rod is configured to form a force-transmission path between the rings when the link is broken.

  • Patent number: 9067688
    Abstract: A suspension system including a front suspension plane located at an intermediate turboshaft engine casing and connecting same to a pylon, a rear suspension plane located at an exhaust casing of the turboshaft engine and connecting same to the pylon, and a failsafe intermediate suspension plane located between the front and rear planes and including at least one connecting rod connecting the turboshaft engine having a structural outer casing to the pylon, the connecting rod mounted on the turboshaft engine with a predetermined clearance that renders the connecting rod inoperable while the suspension system of the rear plane is operating. The connecting rod is advantageously arranged between the outer casing and the pylon, and an element made of a flexible material is combined with the connecting rod to create the predetermined clearance by an elastically deformable nature thereof.

  • Patent number: 8600611
    Abstract: A system for measuring fatigue of a component of an aircraft subject to mechanical stresses includes: a plurality of stress sensors mounted on the component, each sensor being configured to detect a predetermined mechanical stress threshold and to deliver a data signal representative of exceeding of the threshold; and a mechanism for recording the data and the sensors configured to detect different stress thresholds so as to make it possible to calculate, on the basis of the data recorded by the system, an estimation of fatigue of the component due to the mechanical stresses. It is thus possible to optimize overhaul of the components.
