  • the blade 70 can also be sprung 118 from an initial position of predominantly bowed 126 to a parallel position 128 when interlocked.
  • the final position 124 , 128 will cause the second radial edge 108 bias outwardly and the seat to bias inwardly. This bias is caused by the compressive force F C from the dovetail 116 which translates to an upward force F 2 at the second radial edge 108 and a downward force F 1 from the seat 110 .

  • the second radial edge 108 of the second flange 136 will bias toward the first flange 132 due to the forces F 1 and F 2 .

  • FIG. 8 A second embodiment of the shroud assembly is contemplated in FIG. 8 .
  • the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, therefore, like parts will be identified with like numerals increasing by 100 respectively, with it being understood that the description of the like parts of the first embodiment applies to the additional embodiments, unless otherwise noted.
  • a first interlock element 234 formed on a first flange 232 includes an angled seat 210 formed to receive an angled second interlock element 238 formed on a second flange 236 .
  • the flange 204 of each shroud element 202 therefore includes an angled seat 210 and an angled portion 240 formed to fit into the angled seat 210 . While illustrated as two ramps 242 , 244 forming an apex 246 , the angled seat 210 and angled portion 240 can be any shape where the first interlock element 234 is formed to receive the second interlock element 238 .
  • a method of forming a shroud assembly comprising a shroud element integrally formed with a blade, about a plurality of rotating blades in a turbine engines includes forming an interlock between circumferentially adjacent tips of the blades and preloading the interlock. The preloading of the interlock where an interlock element is made to bias towards another interlock element.
  • Prior art for shroud blade assemblies include Z-shaped interlocks.
  • Implementing airfoil and shroud radial bending ensures contact between interlock elements to achieve outer band preload at operating conditions without typical torsional bending used in Z-shaped shroud design which requires a pre-twist.
  • This type of bending also only requires blade balancing for centrifugal forces and improves damping at blade resonant vibrations due to increased contact areas between the interlock element surfaces. This increase in contact area also provides for a reduction in outer flowpath leakages.
  • the simplified shape of design and removing a need for a pre-twist eases manufacturing.
