    Abstract: A thermal mechanical dimple array for combustor liners of gas turbine engines are located at known hot spots along liner to reduce stress and minimize cracking. Such arrays have indentations in the liners at the hot spots that act to thermal mechanically flex the liner at the hot spot away from the heat source and distribute stresses such that cracking of the liner is reduced and durability is improved.

    Abstract: A combustor includes a liner and a support. The liner includes first and second spaced apart liner walls defining a combustion chamber therebetween, and an end wall joining the first and second liner walls at a forward end. The support is configured to resiliently support the liner and includes first and second spaced apart support walls having first and second retainers configured to capture aft ends of the first and second liner walls. A gas turbine engine and a method of assembling a combustor are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A combustor thermal shield is provided. The combustor thermal shield may have a combustor panel that may protect a surface of a combustor from heat and/or flame. The combustor thermal shield may be mounted to the combustor by an attachment stud formed as a unitary body with the combustor panel. The combustor panel and the attachment stud may be made of different materials. A transition region may be disposed between the attachment stud and the combustor thermal shield and formed as a unitary body with the combustor panel and the attachment stud. The transition region may be made of a mixture of the different materials. The mixture may vary according to a gradient as a function of proximity to the combustor panel and the attachment stud.

    Abstract: A method for creating a laminate design geometry for a composite component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, defining a spatial volume of a solid defined between a plurality of external surface boundaries, defining an offset boundary spaced by an offset value from one of the plurality of external surface boundaries to define a region in which a ply is to be received, defining a partitioning boundary dividing the region into a ply portion and a resin portion; and repeating the steps of defining an offset boundary and defining a partitioning boundary by defining an offset boundary from any one of the plurality of external surface boundaries and the offset boundary in a previous iteration of defining an offset boundary.
