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 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.

The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member contacts less than half of said plurality of blades. 4. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member further comprises: a plate portion operable to seal against said fan; andone or more arms projecting along said axis from said plate portion to a distal end contacting the platform of at least one of said predetermined subset of blades. 5. The fan assembly of claim 4 wherein said plate portion and said one or more arm are integrally-formed with respect to one another. 6. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member contacts said fan at respective axial ends of the platforms of said predetermined subset of blades. 7. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member contacts said fan at respective radially inward sides of the platforms of said predetermined subset of blades. 8. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said annular reinforcing member extends about an entire circumference of said fan. 9. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said hub defines a plurality of slots and wherein each of said plurality of blades are received in one of said plurality of slots. 10. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member further comprises: a plate portion operable to seal against said fan and prevent aft movement of each of the plurality of blades; anda plurality of arms projecting from said plate portion along said axis to respective distal ends, each distal end contacting at least one of said predetermined subset of blades. 11. The fan assembly of claim 10 wherein each of said plurality of arms includes a shaft portion extending from said plate portion and a protuberance at said distal end thicker than said shaft portion. 12. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member contacts said platform of each of said predetermined subset of said plurality of blades to increase a stiffness of said predetermined subset of said plurality of blades relative to a non-reinforced subset of said plurality of blades that are not contacted by said reinforcing member. 13. The fan assembly of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing member is fixed to said hub. 14. A fan assembly comprising: a fan operable to rotate about an axis and including a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially from said hub relative to said axis, each of said blades including a platform defining an inner boundary of a flow path and an airfoil extending radially from the platform and into the flow path; anda reinforcing member positioned adjacent to said fan along said axis and contacting the platform of a predetermined subset of more than one but less than all of said plurality of blades;wherein the platform of each of said predetermined subset of blades is longer along said axis than the platform of each of the remaining blades. 15. A fan assembly comprising: a fan operable to rotate about an axis and including a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially from said hub relative to said axis;a reinforcing member positioned adjacent to said fan along said axis and contacting a predetermined subset of less than all of said plurality of blades; anda quantity of lubricating material positioned between said reinforcing member and said predetermined subset of blades. 16. A method comprising the steps of: rotating a fan including a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially from the hub about an axis, each of the blades including a platform defining an inner boundary of a flow path and an airfoil extending radially from the platform and into the flow path; andpositioning an annular reinforcing member extending annularly about the axis adjacent to the fan along the axis such that the reinforcing member contacts the platform of a predetermined subset of more than one but less than all of the plurality of blades. 17. The method of claim 16 wherein said positioning step is further defined as: reinforcing less than all of the plurality of blades to increase the stiffness of only the reinforced blades. 18. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of: sealing the fan with the reinforcing member. 19. The method of claim 16 wherein said positioning step includes the step of: contacting at least some axially aft edges of the platforms of each of the predetermined subset of blades with an outer diameter of the reinforcing member. 20. The method of claim 16 wherein said positioning step includes the step of: contacting at least some of the predetermined subset of the blades radially inward of the respective platforms of the at least some of the predetermined subset of the blades with the reinforcing member. 21.
