Abstract:
A structure includes a first body section that has a wall that spans in a vertical direction. The wall has a relatively thin thickness with respect to a length and a width of the wall. A second body section is arranged next to, but spaced apart from, the first body section. A gusset connects the first body section and the second body section. The gusset extends obliquely from the wall of the first body section with respect to the vertical direction such that the gusset is self-supporting. The first body section has a geometry that corresponds to an end-use component exclusive of the gusset.
Abstract:
An embodiment of an apparatus includes a centrifugal drive unit, an arm assembly, an optional dynamic balancing ring, and a workpiece fixture. The arm assembly is operatively connected to the centrifugal drive unit and configured to revolve about a primary axis perpendicular to the arm. The workpiece fixture is mounted to the arm assembly, and is configured to rotate at least one workpiece about at least one secondary axis outboard of the primary axis.

Abstract:
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. The assembly includes a fuel injector and a fuel vaporizer. A nozzle of the fuel injector is adapted to direct fuel to impinge against the fuel vaporizer. The fuel vaporizer is adapted to substantially vaporize the impinging fuel.
