Abstract
A tripod joint assembly for connecting first and second overlapping panel segments of a flowpath liner in a gas turbine engine includes a threaded fastener extending through an opening in the first overlapping panel segment and adjacent to an outer segment edge of the second overlapping panel segment disposed on the first overlapping segment. The assembly further includes a tripod plate having first and second plate edges and an access hole therebetween. The first plate edge contacts the first overlapping panel segment, the second plate edge contacts the outer segment edge of the second overlapping panel segment. The access hole is disposed around the threaded fastener. First and second washers are disposed around the threaded fastener, the first washer on the tripod plate opposite to the overlapping panel segments, and the second washer on the first washer opposite to the tripod plate. A threaded locknut secures the assembly.
