Abstract
A combustor assembly includes a porous, laminated metal dome and an elongated tubular body portion disposed vertically within an air supply plenum. The dome and body portion are joined by a yieldable ring and a plurality of radially inwardly directed convolutions on one end of the body portion. A load support member is telescoped over the upper end of the dome and includes a tubular axial extension with a plurality of radially inwardly directed convolutions connected to the body portion and wherein the support member includes a plurality of radially outwardly directed spider arms extending from a support flange on the upper end of the support member secured to a fixed fuel nozzle pad whereby the porous laminated metal dome is supported for free flex movement with respect to the pad during combustor operation.
