Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method of assembling a heat exchanger (602) in a gas turbine engine assembly, wherein the method includes providing a structural body (520) including a wall having an elongated slot (524), providing a heat exchanger (602) operably associated with a bracket (702), and providing a slip joint (704) for coupling the bracket to the structural body. The slip joint includes a standoff (724), an elongated member (728), and a biasing member (726) disposed about the elongated member. The standoff is inserted through the wall so that the biasing member imparts a predetermined biasing force between the bracket and the structural body. The slip joint allows relative sliding movement between the bracket and the structural body when a sliding force due to thermal expansion or contraction is greater than the biasing force.
