    Abstract: A combustor includes an inner liner and an outer liner defining a combustion chamber. The inner liner includes an inner mesh structure, a plurality of hot side planks mounted to a hot side of the inner mesh structure, and a plurality of cold side planks mounted to a cold side of the inner mesh structure. The outer liner includes an outer mesh structure, a plurality of hot side planks mounted to a hot side of the outer mesh structure, and a plurality of cold side planks mounted to a cold side of the outer mesh structure. The combustor further includes a plurality of clips configured to couple the plurality of hot side planks and the plurality of cold side planks to a plurality of structural elements of the inner mesh structure and the outer mesh structure.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to seal assemblies for a turbomachine. The seal assemblies include stationary and rotating components and at least one interface between the stationary and rotating components. The seal assembly further includes a self-lubricating lattice element made of carbon or a carbon-based material. The self-lubricating lattice element may have a porous and compressible microstructure capable of retaining a liquid substance. During engine operation, the self-lubricating lattice element can compress and expel some portion of the liquid substance to form a liquid-containing layer between the rotating and stationary components of the seal assembly. Also described herein are self-lubricating wear sleeves for use in other portions of the turbomachine.
