摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust strut and a turbomachine incorporating the same.SOLUTION: The exhaust strut is provided and includes: a body having an airfoil-shaped cross-section defining a lead edge part and a trailing edge part opposite the lead edge part, the lead edge part and the trailing edge part being connected by a pressure side and a suction side opposite the pressure side, at least the lead edge part and respective sections of the pressure side and the suction side proximate to the lead edge part being formed of shape memory alloy; and a temperature control system operably disposed at the lead edge part and the respective sections of the pressure side and the suction side proximate to the lead edge part to modify a temperature of the shape memory alloy.
