Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine that includes a first shroud segment, a second shroud segment spaced from the first shroud segment, and a third shroud segment spaced from the first shroud segment. The first and the second shroud segments define a gap therebetween, and the first and the third shroud segments define a gap therebetween. A first seal portion is positioned at least partially on the first and the third shroud segments and at least partially covers the gap defined by the first and the third shroud segments. A second seal portion is positioned at least partially on the first and the second shroud segments and at least partially covers the gap defined by the first and the second shroud segments. A third seal portion extends between and couples the first and the second seal portions.
