<p>An assembly is described for a turbine engine casing. A first casing section is positioned radially outward from a turbine engine. The first casing includes a first flange (20) having an outer end portion (60), an inner end portion (62), and a body (64) therebetween. At least a portion of the outer end portion has a partial frustoconical cross-sectional profile. A second casing section including a second flange is positioned adjacent the first casing section such that a mating surface (30) of the second flange (22) is positioned substantially flush against a first flange mating surface (28). Each respective mating surface is opposite a respective load-bearing surface (32,34). A fastener (71) is inserted through an opening in the first and second flanges to couple casing sections together such that a portion of a load-bearing surface extending over the first flange outer end portion facilitates distributing loading induced therein substantially equally across the load bearing surface.</p> |
