Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compliant assembly includes an airfoil and a platform section from which the airfoil extends. The platform section includes a compliant attachment that is configured to secure the platform section to another structure different than the airfoil. The compliant attachment includes a compliant material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A compliant assembly comprising: a bracket defining a cavity therein, a compliant material disposed within the cavity; and a tab extending into the cavity such that a portion of the tab is embedded in the compliant material, the tab including a tab base located outside of the cavity and a protrusion transversely extending from the tab base and that is also located outside of the cavity such that the protrusion is spaced apart from the bracket, the protrusion having a free tip adjacent the bracket such that the protrusion limits relative movement between the tab and the bracket upon compression of the compliant material to close the space between the bracket and the protrusion. 2. The compliant assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bracket is U-shaped. 3. The compliant assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tab includes an opening there through. 4. The compliant assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the compliant material is a non-metal. 5. The compliant assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the compliant material includes silicone. 6. The compliant assembly as recited in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion limits relative movement between the tab and the bracket along a longitudinal direction of the tab.
