PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shroud assembly (33) for a gas turbine engine, having a temperature at a hot operating condition substantially greater than at a cold assembly condition thereof. SOLUTION: The shroud assembly (33) includes: at least one arcuate shroud segment (32) having an axially extending arcuate mounting flange (54) and adapted to surround a row of rotating turbine blades (24); a shroud hanger having an arcuate, axially-extending hook (44) disposed in mating relationship to the mounting flange (54); and an arcuate C-clip (56) having inner and outer arms (58, 60) overlapping the hook (44) and the mounting flange (54). The curvatures of the mounting flange (54) and the inner arm (58) of the C-clip (56) are selected so as to define a matching interface between them. Their curvatures are substantially greater than the curvature of the hook (44). COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
