Shape memory alloy isolator for a gas turbine engine

A vibration isolation system for a component of a gas turbine engine, the vibration isolation system comprising

• a fixed frame of the gas turbine engine;
• an engine component associated with the gas turbine engine;
• at least one connector coupling the engine component to the fixed frame;
• and
• at least one isolator, including a shape memory alloy material, associated with the at least one connector and arranged between the fixed frame and the engine component such that the at least one isolator reduces vibrations transferred between the fixed frame and the engine component.

A vibration isolation system for an engine mount of a gas turbine engine, the vibration isolation system comprising:

• a fixed frame of the gas turbine engine;
• an engine mount structure;
• at least one connector coupling the fixed frame to the engine mount structure;
• and
• at least one isolator, including a memory shape alloy material, associated with the at least one connector and arranged between the fixed frame and the engine mount structure such that the at least one isolator reduces vibrations transferred between the fixed frame and the engine mount structure.
