Compliant metal support for ceramic combustor liner in a gas turbine engine

摘要

A combustion system for an engine, such as a gas turbine engine is provided. The combustion system has a ceramic component (24), such as ceramic combustor liner, and at least one metal support component, such as a metal ring (20) or a plurality of metal cones (110,114, FIG. 7), for providing radial and axial support to the ceramic component. The at least one metal support component (20) includes a structure, such as axial slots (23) or radial slots, for minimizing stress and for increasing compliance of the metal support component (20) with respect to the ceramic component (24).
