摘要: A rotor for a gas turbine is disclosed which includes alternating first and second set of rotor blades, the first set of rotor blades having a baseline profile and the second set of rotor blades having a profile with a cutback relative to the baseline profile, the cutback removing a portion of the baseline profile surrounding a maximum deflection point of a selected natural vibration mode. The cutback may be a tip trailing edge cutback at a span position located a distance away from the hub of at least 75% of the total span length. The selected natural vibration mode may be a natural vibration mode higher than the 1st natural vibration mode, more specifically may be the 3rd or 6th natural vibration mode.

摘要: A compressor rotor for a gas turbine engine is described which includes sets of blades having different airfoil thickness distributions, each including a frequency modifier forming a thickness differential relative to a baseline blade thickness. The frequency modifiers provide different natural vibration frequencies for each of the blades, and facilitate modifying natural vibration frequency separation between adjacent blades of the compressor rotor.

摘要: A rotor for a gas turbine engine comprises a rotor having a hub and blades around the hub, and extending from the hub to tips. The tips include first and second tip portions between their respective tip leading edge and tip trailing edge. Tips are spaced from a rotational axis of the rotor by spans. A mean span of a first tip portion of a first blade is greater than a mean span of a corresponding first tip portion of a second blade. A mean span of a second tip portion the first blade is less than a mean span of a corresponding second tip portion of the second blade.

摘要: The application is directed to a brush seal assembly adapted to be operatively mounted between a stator and a rotor of a gas turbine engine. The brush seal assembly comprises a housing and a seal operatively coupled to the housing. The seal comprises at least two annular brushes each having a plurality of bristles extending away from the housing. The at least two annular brushes and the housing defines a cavity therebetween. The housing defines at least one circumferential surface within the cavity. The housing comprises at least one discontinuity defined in the at least one circumferential surface. The at least one discontinuity disrupts a continuity of annularity of the circumferential surface.

摘要: A method includes: obtaining a rotor having a hub and a plurality of blades protruding from the hub, the plurality of blades including first blades and second blades disposed in alternation around a central axis of the rotor, natural vibration frequencies of the first blades different from natural vibration frequencies of the second blades; determining that a difference between a first natural vibration frequency of a first blade of the first blades and a second natural vibration frequency of a second blade of the second blades is below a threshold; and modifying a shape of the first blade until the difference between the first natural vibration frequency and the second natural vibration frequency is at or above the threshold.

摘要: There is disclosed a brush seal assembly including at least one annular bristle pack. The at least one annular bristle pack extends circumferentially around a central axis of the brush seal assembly. The at least one annular bristle pack has bristles extending along longitudinal axes from roots to free tips. The bristles extend toward a cylindrical plane of a the seal land. Projections of the free tips on the cylindrical plane define a bristle tip projection surface being non-axisymmetric. A method of operating a brush seal assembly is also disclosed.

摘要: The stiffness of a rotor part is varied over its circumference to allow damper rings to effectively work in high speed applications. Circumferentially spaced-apart pockets may be defined in the rotor to create discontinuous strain to increase the force required to lock the damper ring in the groove above the centrifugal force of the ring when the rotor is rotating.
