Abstract

The invention relates to a guide vane for attachment to a stator shroud of a gas turbine engine, comprising:—a profiled part intended to extend in a gas flow in order to guide the gas flow, the profiled part having a pressure-side surface and a suction-side surface, and—a platform having a guide surface from which the profiled part extends, a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface, the second lateral surface being able to be arranged facing a first lateral surface of an identical adjacent guide vane, fanning a raised portion which prevents a parasitic transverse flow of the gas flow, while creating a depression which at least partially compensates for the obstruction of the gas flow by the raised portion.

Abstract

A method for transferring an adhesive onto a part intended to be glued on a carrier, the adhesive being in the form of a double-sided film including a separator on each face, the part including an internal concave portion that does not enable uniform application of the adhesive film once the separators have been removed. The method includes attaching the adhesive film to a punch that matches the shape of the part within a range that approximately corresponds to the thickness of the adhesive film; removing the separator from the side of the adhesive film that is to be attached to the part; setting the part on the punch covered with the adhesive film that has had its separator removed; and transferring the adhesive film onto the part by creating a vacuum between the part and the punch by means of a vacuum device.

Abstract

In a method for three-dimensional weaving of a fibrous structure between layers of warp yarns and layers of weft yarns, the weft yarns are woven in a plurality of columns spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction. The method includes weaving deployment portions in the fibrous structure that is interwoven with an adjacent portion, the weft yarns of the weft yarn columns of the adjacent portion being juxtaposed in a first stacking direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. During the process of weaving the deployment portions, the weft yarns of each weft yarn column are positioned against the fell of the fibrous structure in stacking directions that are different from the first stacking direction.

Abstract

The method for dimensioning a multi-pole oriented-flux magnetic ring for a rotor of a rotating electric machine, where the magnetic ring includes a predetermined number of pairs of poles, and the magnetic ring is formed by at least one oriented-flux magnet. The method includes determining a characteristic dimension of the magnet equal to the minimum value out of the outer perimeter of the ring and the axial length of the ring, determining a reference value equal to the minimum value out of a predetermined reference length and twice the value Pi, comparing the characteristic dimension of the magnet with the reference value, and if the characteristic dimension of the magnet is greater than the reference value, the method comprises circumferentially dividing the magnet into at least two sub-magnets.

Abstract

An axial turbomachine includes a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a radially external air flow, called a secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary flow and a tertiary flow, the tertiary flow being in a tertiary flow vein radially external to the primary flow, delimited by an internal wall and an external wall; and an air/oil type heat exchanger, disposed in the tertiary flow vein. The heat exchanger includes several angular sectors, each angular sector including an oil inlet on the internal wall at an angular end of the sector, and an oil outlet on the internal wall at an opposite angular end of the sector.

Abstract

An axial turbomachine comprising a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a flow of radially external air, called secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary flow and a tertiary flow flow in a tertiary flow vein radially external to said primary flow; and a heat exchanger disposed in the tertiary flow vein. The heat exchanger extends radially and axially in an upstream section section of the tertiary flow vein, having a divergent longitudinal section, said tertiary flow vein comprises a downstream section presenting a converging longitudinal section, following the tertiary flow.

Abstract

Method for manufacturing composite blade cleats for an aircraft turbine engine, including providing a woven panel, including a plurality of cleat preforms each having a usable portion and at least one margin, the preforms being distributed in the panel so that two adjacent preforms have at least a portion of the margin in common; injecting a matrix onto the panel; after injection, dividing the panel in order to separate the cleats from one another; machining the cleats to remove the margins.
