Patent number: 10814388Abstract: An additive manufacturing machine includes a heated gas circulation system for regulating the temperature of additive powder throughout an annular powder bed and parts formed therein. The additive manufacturing machine includes an annular build platform defining a plurality of perforations and a heated gas supply that provides a flow of heated air through the plurality of perforations and the powder bed. The additive manufacturing machine further includes a plurality of fairings for guiding the flow of heated gas to temperature sensitive regions to minimize temperature gradients within the powder bed which might otherwise result in distortion, thermal stresses, or cracking in the finished part.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: David Richard Barnhart, Mark Richard Shaw

Patent number: 7103520Abstract: A modeling system predicts natural frequency responses in tube sub-systems including shrouded bellows components. The system determines a stiffness multiplier from input values and uses the determined flexibility factor to determine the natural frequency responses. The input values include geometry inputs and dynamic operating condition inputs. The flexibility factor is determined with a regression equation. The regression equation, based on dynamic stiffness test data of various shrouded bellows configurations, permits the system to characterize the shrouded bellows using a geometry element that includes an assigned flexibility factor based on dynamic stiffness test data.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Mark Richard Shaw, Christen Staton Vonderau

Patent number: 6434946Abstract: An article assembly comprising a plurality of members includes a multi-layered brazed joint provided in the assembly between a first member that can be affected adversely by thermal exposure at a limiting and a second member requiring exposure, such as for brazing, at least at the limiting temperature. The assembly is provided with a multi-layered brazed joint directly or indirectly between such members by brazing to the second member a second brazing alloy that can be brazed at a temperature required to braze the second member, providing a preform. The assembly is brazed to include the first member by brazing members of the assembly together with a first brazing alloy, brazing at a temperature less than the limiting temperature, brazed at the second brazing alloy.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Mark Richard Shaw, David Edwin Budinger, Ronald Daniel Regan
