Abstract
A system and method for reducing vibration and wear to adjacent platform surfaces and mounting locations of a vane segment in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The present invention seeks to improve the interaction between mating faces of adjacent gas turbine vane assemblies by increasing the surface area where contact between the adjacent vanes occurs, so as to increase the damping capability and reduce the wear to the mating surfaces.
