Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a seal assembly that is supported by a member at a joint. The seal assembly includes a seal support having a radial flange secured to the joint. A first bend adjoins the radial flange to a first leg, which is oriented generally in an axial direction. A second bend adjoins the first leg to a second leg, which is conical in shape. A seal is supported by the second leg.

Abstract: An assembly for use with a gas turbine engine includes a tie rod and a connector. The tie rod, which is for extending radially outwardly from a latitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine, has a hollow length having a longitudinal axis and a base having a width in parallel to the latitudinal axis. The base has a counterbore disposed therein and is wider than a width of the length. The connector, for attaching the base of the tie rod to a bearing assembly of the gas turbine engine, has a hollow body having a shaft removably attaching, at a first end portion thereof, to the counterbore. The shaft and the counterbore are disposed in parallel with the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An example turbomachine load management assembly includes a support rod extending from a first rod end to a second rod end that is moveable radially relative to a fan duct, a bearing housing, or both, when the support rod is coupling the fan duct and the bearing housing.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes bound assemblies with an inner diameter ring, struts, and an outer diameter ring. The strut is connected to the inner diameter ring and extends radially outward therefrom to connect to the outer diameter ring. A strain relief feature is disposed adjacent to or at the connection between the strut and the inner diameter ring and/or the outer diameter ring. The strain relief feature lengthens the arc segment of fillet curvature. For a constant thermal punch load, the lengthened arc segment of fillet curvature results in a decreased maximum strain in the bound assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mixer assembly including a mixer and a plurality of scoops attached around a circumference of the mixer element via a combination of sliding brackets and fixed brackets. The sliding brackets provide attachment and allow relative movement between the plurality of scoops and the mixer element while the fixed brackets provide only attachment between the mixer element and the plurality of scoops. The first sliding bracket includes a first flange that is fixedly mounted to the mixer element and a second flange that is biased against a surface of the scoop. A second sliding bracket is fixedly mounted to the mixer element and adjustably mounted to the scoop. The second sliding bracket includes an attachment hole and the scoop includes an adjustment slot. A fastener assembly including a spacer is received within the adjustment hole and the adjustment slot to allow relative movement between the mixer element and the scoop.
