Abstract: A method of operating a combustor of a gas turbine, the combustor including a combustor liner that defines a total combustion chamber volume, and has a primary combustion zone defining a primary volume. The combustor liner includes a movable portion that is arranged to be actuated to adjust a percentage of the primary volume with respect to the total combustion chamber volume. The method includes, at a first operating state of the gas turbine, adjusting a size of the primary volume to a first percentage of the total combustion chamber volume by actuating the movable portion to adjust the size of the primary volume, and at a second operating state of the gas turbine different from the first operating state, adjusting the size of the primary volume to a second percentage of the total combustion chamber volume by actuating the movable portion to adjust the size of the primary volume.

Abstract: A casing for a bearing of a gas turbine engine includes a shaft extending along an axial direction. The casing includes an attachment feature at a radially outermost portion of the casing. The attachment feature is configured to be coupled to a static frame of the gas turbine engine. The casing further includes a plurality of support arms extend from the attachment feature to a radially innermost portion of the casing. At least one support arm of the plurality of support arms defines an internal cavity. Further, the radially innermost portion of the casing is configured to be coupled to an outer race of the bearing. The casing additionally includes a reinforcing member housed at least partially within the internal cavity of at least one support arm. Moreover, the reinforcing member includes a shape memory alloy material.
