Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A damper for a turbine rotor assembly of a gas turbine engine may include a forward plate including a forward face and an aft face, and an aft plate including a forward face and an aft face. The aft face of the forward plate may be connected to the forward face of the aft plate with a longitudinal structure. An area of the aft plate in a plane transverse to the longitudinal structure may be larger than an area of the forward plate in the plane transverse to the longitudinal structure. The damper may also include a nub projecting from a lower portion of the aft face of the aft plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A damper for a turbine rotor assembly of a gas turbine engine, comprising: a width dimension, a height dimension, and a length dimension; a forward plate; an aft plate including a larger area than the forward plate along the width and height dimensions, a width-wise centrally positioned nub that projects aft in the length dimension from a lower portion of the aft plate; a rectangular-shaped discourager located above the nub and extending aft in the len…
