Abstract
A combustion chamber for use in gas turbine engines is provided with a liner formed of a high temperature material. The liner includes a plurality of annular rings of high temperature material mounted by means of flexible mounting arrangement upon a high strength structural frame. As a result of this mounting arrangement, the liner is substantially isolated from structural forces associated with the combustion chamber, while the frame is substantially isolated from thermal stresses associated with the liner. The individual liner rings may be easily removed for repair or replacement without disassembling the frame and associated components. Furthermore, the 'decoupling' of thermal and structural stresses provides longer life and more dependable operation.
