Abstract
A rotor assembly apparatus that includes a rotatable component and a ring-shroud. The rotatable component is mounted for rotation about a first axis. The ring-shroud defines an inner surface that surrounds the rotatable component and that defines a second axis. A sensing system is configured to monitor the position of the first axis relative to the second axis. A casing surrounds the ring-shroud and an actuation system is configured to move the ring-shroud relative to the casing, in response to the sensing system.
