Abstract
A turbine ring assembly for a gas turbine includes a one-piece split ring () of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material, a CMC wedge-shaped part () having flanks in contact with the ends of the ring, on either side of the split, so as to close the ring, and an annular metal support structure () surrounding the CMC ring and in contact therewith over the major fraction of its outline, the CMC ring being mounted with prestress in the metal structure, at least one element () exerting a resilient return force on the wedge-shaped part to keep it in contact with the ends of the CMC ring when the split opens under the effect of differential expansion between the annular metal structure and the CMC ring, and at least one element for preventing the CMC ring from turning about its axis.
