Abstract
A case assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising annular case components each having a central axis. Radial struts each have a radial axis and intersect the annular case components. A stress dissipation mass projecting from a continuous surface of at least one of the struts at the intersection with a corresponding annular case component, the stress dissipation mass being on either side of a plane passing through the radial axis of the strut and the central axis of the corresponding annular case component. A method for dissipating thermal and mechanical stresses on a strut in a case assembly for a gas turbine engine is also provided.
