  • Connecting structure for load transfer
    Patent number: 12221902
    Abstract: A connecting structure (10) for load transfer, in particular in a gas turbine (1), including a strut (20) and at least one wall element (30) is provided. The strut (20) at one end is integrally joined to the wall element (30), and the strut (20) and the wall element (30) are enclosed by a fillet (40), at least in areas, and integrally joined to same. An elastic deformation of the involved elements of the structure during the load transfer and/or load absorption is improved in that a root section (50) that is formed by a ridge (56) and that extends from the strut (20) to the wall element (30) is situated on the fillet (40).
