연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

청구항
▼

We claim: 1. An aircraft bypass turbofan engine comprising an engine core and a casing surrounding at least a portion of the engine core, the casing including a plurality of thin walled hollow struts and a plurality of thin walled adjoining members having a V-shaped cross-section for providing a splitter between airflows paths through the engine core and bypass, the struts arranged in a circumferential array between an inner hub and the casing, the struts extending continuously from the inner hub to the casing to thereby mount the inner hub directly to the casing, the adjoining members arranged in a circumferential array and mounted between adjacent struts to thereby provide said splitter, each adjoining member having a first end welded to a sidewall of one of said adjacent struts and a second end welded to a sidewall of another of said adjacent struts, each of the struts adjoined to circumferentially adjacent struts by at least one of the members, each member comprising a hollow closed section, the closed section closed at each end by the strut sidewalls and further closed by at least one radially-extending annular segment element extending between adjacent struts, the element extending across the member and connected to both the member and the adjacent struts to thereby be configured to transmit a shear force into the struts when a torque is applied to the member. 2. The engine of claim 1 wherein the member is mounted at a midpoint of the adjacent struts. 3. The engine of claim 1 wherein the members are joined to one another. 4. The engine of claim 1 wherein the engine core is mounted to the members, and wherein the casing is adapted such that engine core loads are transferred to engine mounts on the casing sequentially through the members, elements and then struts. 5. The engine of claim 4 wherein the engine mounts are positioned coaxially with a strut centroidal axis. 6. The engine of claim 1 wherein the struts span across an airflow path defined through the casing. 7. The engine of claim 1 wherein the inner hub supports at least one main shaft bearing, and wherein the casing is adapted such that loads from the bearing are transferred to engine mounts on the casing through the struts substantially as non-bending tensile and compressive forces in the struts. 8. The engine of claim 1 wherein the casing is an intermediate case portion of the engine casing. 9. The engine of claim 8 wherein the casing comprises a monolithic case housing at least a fan, compressor and combustor of the engine. 10. An aircraft bypass turbofan engine casing comprising a outer ring portion, an inner hub portion and a plurality of thin walled hollow struts and a plurality of thin walled hollow torque box members, the outer ring portion having at least one engine mount thereon for engine-supporting connection to an aircraft, the struts arranged in a circumferential array and continuously extending from the inner hub portion and terminating at the outer ring portion to mount the inner hub portion to the outer ring portion, the plurality of torque box members arranged such that at least one extends between sides of adjacent struts in the array to thereby connect each strut to immediately adjacent struts, the torque box members adapted to convert a torque applied thereto into a shear force and transmit said shear force into the struts. 11. The casing of claim 10 wherein the torque box members form closed sections with the struts. 12. The casing of claim 10 wherein the torque box members are connected to a core portion of the engine and define at least one primary load path for transferring support loads from the core to the mount, the load path passing through the torque box members to the at least one engine mount. 13. The casing of claim 10 wherein the torque box members connect to each strut at a midpoint of each struts. 14. The casing of claim 10 wherein the torque box members are integrated with a splitter adapted to split an ingested air flow between a core flow passage and bypass flow passage. 15. The casing of claim 10 wherein the struts span across an ingested airflow path defined through the casing. 16. The casing of claim 10 wherein the inner hub portion supports at least one main shaft bearing, and wherein the casing is adapted such that loads from the bearing are transferred to the engine mount through the struts substantially as non-bending tensile and compressive forces in the struts. 17. The casing of claim 10 wherein the casing is an intermediate ease portion of the engine casing. 18. A load carrying apparatus for a aircraft bypass turbofan engine, the apparatus comprising: an inner hub supporting at least one main shaft bearing; an outer casing having at least one engine mount; and a hollow strut assembly including a plurality of thin walled hollow struts extending in an circumferential array, the plurality of struts each extending from a first end connected to the inner hub to a second end connected to the outer casing, the struts having sides facing immediately adjacent struts in the array, the strut assembly including means for load sharing between adjacent struts, said means extending between adjacent struts and connecting to an intermediate portion of each strut side and being thin walled. 19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the means for load sharing includes means for converting a torque applied thereto into a shear force and means for transmitting the shear force as an in-plane force into the struts. 20. A load carrying apparatus for a aircraft bypass turbofan engine, the apparatus comprising an outer ring and an inner ring together defining at least one air flow passage therebetween, a plurality of thin walled hollow struts extending radially between the outer and inner rings across the passage in a circumferential array, and a plurality of thin walled hollow torque boxes, each torque box bonded with shear-transferring joints to an intermediate side portion of adjacent struts, the outer ring having a plurality of engine mounts for mounting the engine to an aircraft, the torque boxes including a web member adapted to transfer a torque applied to the torque box by an engine core mounted thereto into the strut as shear for engine core load transfer to the engine mounts. 21. The apparatus of claim 20 wherein the engine core has a weight and wherein said weight is transferred to the mounts entirely through said torque boxes. 22. The apparatus of claim 20 wherein the torque boxes are adapted to transfer bending moments applied to the struts through said web member and into the struts as a axial force. 23. The apparatus of claim 20 wherein the apparatus is an intermediate case portion of the engine.
