  • System life for continuously operating engines
    Patent number: 6092984
    Abstract: A method is provided for extending the system life of variable geometry components, including variable geometry rings, in an engine system by minimizing relative motion incurred from engine vibrations. Initially, the variable geometry rings are de-tuned from resonant engine vibrations. Damping is then introduced to absorb the impact from the relative motion incurred by engine vibrations and to minimize transmission of the relative motion through the variable geometry components.
