Abstract
A CMC wall (F) may be attached to a metal wall (F) by a plurality of bolts (A,B,C) passing through respective holes (A,B,C) in the CMC wall (F) and holes in the metal wall (F), clamping the walls (F,F) together with a force that allows sliding thermal expansion but does not allow vibrational shifting. Distal ones of the holes (A,B) in the CMC wall (F) or in the metal wall (F) are elongated toward a central one of the bolts (C) or at alternate angles to guide differential thermal expansion (T) of the CMC wall (F) versus the metal wall (F) between desired cold and hot geometries. A second CMC wall (R) may be mounted similarly to a second metal wall (R) by pins (A,B,C) that allow expansion of the CMC component () in a direction normal to the walls (F,R).
