CPC classification number: F01D11/24 , F01D25/24 , F01D25/10 , F05D2240/11 , F05D2260/50 , F05D2300/50212 , F05D2270/821 , F05D2260/20
Abstract: Disclosed herein are example variable flowpath casings for blade tip clearance control. An example casing for a turbine engine includes an annular substrate extending along an axial direction, the annular substrate including a first surface and a second surface that is radially inward relative to the first surface; an actuator structure coupled to the second surface of the annular substrate; and a smart structure cantilevered from the second surface of the annular substrate, the smart structure including: a support structure, a first region of the support structure coupled to the second surface of the annular substrate, a second region of the support structure coupled to the actuator structure; and a radially inward surface defining a variable surface, the support structure to move the variable surface in a radial direction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are example variable flowpath casings for blade tip clearance control. An example casing for a turbine engine includes an annular substrate extending along an axial direction, the annular substrate defining a cavity at a radially inward surface of the annular substrate, and a smart structure coupled to the annular substrate, the smart structure including a support structure; an actuator structure to at least one of expand or contract in response to a change in temperature of the actuator structure, and a variable surface coupled to the support structure, the support structure to move the variable surface in a radial direction.
