Abstract

A gas turbine disk design having a sideplate construction which prevents the leakage of hot gas across the turbine disk is disclosed. The sideplates are segmented and facilitate cooling of the turbine blades. Slidably mounted studs hold the sideplates in surface contact with the disk and prevent the buildup of stress concentrations in either the plates or the attaching members.
