SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTUATING GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS USING INTEGRATED JAMMING DEVICES

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2017166484

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for actuating gas turbine engine components using integrated jamming devices.SOLUTION: A system for actuating components of a gas turbine engine may generally include a turbine component incorporating a jamming device. The jamming device may include a bladder and a jammable medium contained within the bladder. The jammable medium may be jammable within the bladder from an unjammed state, where a fluid is contained within the bladder, to a jammed state, where the fluid is at least partially evacuated from the bladder. The system may also include a fluid coupling in fluid communication with the bladder. A portion of the turbine component may be located at a first position when the jammable medium is in the unjammed state. Additionally, such a portion of the turbine component may be located at a second position when the jammable medium is in the jammed state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
