SHIELDING POCKETS FOR CASE HOLES

摘要

A case is provided for a gas turbine engine. The case includes a wall defining a through-hole. The case also includes first and second pockets adjacent to, and on opposite sides, of the through hole. A method of reducing stress in a case of a gas turbine engine is also provided that includes reducing stress about a through-hole by providing a concavity on each side of the through-hole.
