    Abstract: A method for cooling a compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes sensing, via at least one first temperature sensor, a first temperature at the first location on a stationary assembly of the compressor section. The method also includes sensing, via at least one second temperature sensor, a second temperature at a second location on the stationary assembly of the compressor section. The second location is spaced apart from the first location. The method also includes determining, via a controller, a delta between the first temperature and the second temperature. Further, the method includes operating, via the controller, at least one cooling element when the delta exceeds a predetermined threshold, the at least one cooling element provided at the first location of the stationary assembly of the compressor section.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order. A shaft is provided rotatable with at least a portion of the compressor section and with at least a portion of the turbine section. A bearing is also provided supporting rotation of the shaft, with a support element in turn supporting the bearing. The gas turbine engine also includes a superelastic member formed of a shape memory alloy supporting at least one of the support element or the bearing. The superelastic member is installed in a pre-stressed condition to enhance a dampening function of the superelastic member.

    Abstract: A wind blade includes a self-supporting structural framework, having a span-wise member, a plurality of chord-wise members, a fabric skin, and at least one of a stiffener and a mechanical element. The plurality of chord-wise members is coupled to the span-wise member and each chord-wise member and the span-wise member maintains an aerodynamic contour of the wind blade. Further, the fabric skin is disposed over the self-supporting structural framework. The stiffener and/or the mechanical element are coupled to the self-supporting structural framework, and are operable to provide a relative movement to the self-supporting structural framework for adjusting the aerodynamic contour and provide pretension to the fabric skin.
