An energy dissipating damper includes a first end portion configured to be coupled to a first structure, a second end portion, opposite the first end portion, configured to contact a second structure, and a body portion extending from the first end portion to the second end portion. The body portion includes a plurality leaves. The plurality of leaves may be fixed together at the first end portion and may be separable from each other at the second end portion. In response to the energy dissipating damper being in a loaded state, the plurality of leaves may be in direct contact with each at the second end portion. The energy dissipating damper may further include a contact element coupled to the second end portion, and the contact element may comprise an abradable material.

An augmentor for a gas turbine engine includes an augmentor spray bar with a spray bar outlet, and an augmentor spray bar tip. The spray bar tip includes a tip body, a tip bushing and a tip support strut. The tip body includes a first flow passage extending therethrough between a tip inlet and a tip outlet, wherein the tip inlet is connected to the spray bar outlet. The tip bushing includes a bushing bore. The tip body extends through the bushing bore defining a second flow passage between the tip body and the tip bushing. The tip support strut connects the tip body to the tip bushing across the second flow passage.
