Abstract
A shroud system provides stress management for thermal gradients and compliance. The shroud system includes a support structure having an annular shape and defining a shroud cavity. A shroud is disposed, at least partly, in the shroud cavity. A rotor is rotatable about an axis and within the shroud. The shroud includes a body that has a first surface facing the rotor and a second surface facing away from the rotor. The shroud includes a pair of rails that are parallel to each other and that are spaced apart from each other. The rails extend from the second surface. The body has a thickness in a radial direction, and the thickness is less than a minimum compliance limit. The pair of rails provide stiffness to the shroud to enable the thickness of the body to be less than the minimum limit.
