Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine includes a casing, a first diaphragm assembly, a second diaphragm assembly, and first energy absorbing apparatus. The casing has a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface including an annular slot extending circumferentially therein. The first diaphragm assembly includes a first inner structure, a first outer structure and a plurality of airfoils extending between the first inner and outer structures. The second diaphragm assembly includes a second inner structure, a second outer structure and a plurality of airfoils extending between the second inner and outer structures. The first energy absorbing apparatus engages a first end portion of the first outer structure so as to absorb at least portions of unsteady aerodynamic loads and steady rotational loads generated by the first diaphragm assembly.
