Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1882813A2] Mounting discs (20, 30, 40, 50) are used in gas turbine engines to present turbine or compressor blades. These discs (20, 30, 40, 50) incorporate a bore or cob end 31, 41, 51 which in turn previously had a flat end face surface. Such flat end face surfaces are weight efficient but can lead to reduced component life and a limitation with regard to rotational speed due to Von-Mises stresses. By providing a deviation (39, 49, 59, 69) in the end face from a flat aspect, a reduction in axial stress is achieved with a marginal increase in hoop stress but with a net result that there is a reduction in the general operational Von-Mises stresses and therefore improvement in disc life or potential rotation speed capacity or both.
