Differential thermal growth between joined flanged members is accommodated by making proximate pairs of axially extending sawcuts through the flange and into the casings to form elongated tabs which define sawcut springs. By joining the flanged members at the location of some of the sawcut springs, the springs deflect to permit differential thermal growth. Additionally, the flanged members can be maintained in a centered position, even under conditions of thermal growth, by centering the member by means of a plurality of circumferentially spaced jackscrews which engage the remainder of the sawcut springs. |
