Abstract
A gas turbine engine component formed of material having phononic regions. The phononic regions are formed of metallic glass nanostructures. The phononic regions modify the behavior of the phonons and control heat conduction.
Claims20
1-20. (canceled)
A gas turbine engine component comprising:
- a first region of a first material;
- and
- a phononic region comprising metallic glass nanostructures within the first material;
- wherein phononic transmittal of phonons through the first material forms a first phononic wave comprising the phonons;
- and
- wherein, upon transmittal of the first phononic wave to the phononic region, the phononic region is configured to modify a behavior of the phonons of the first phononic wave.

A method for controlling heat conduction in a gas turbine engine comprising:
- forming a phononic region in a gas turbine engine component within a first region of a first material of a gas turbine engine component, wherein the phononic region comprises metallic glass nanostructures;
- transmitting phonons through the first material to form a first phononic wave comprising the phonons;
- transmitting the first phononic wave to the phononic region, and
- modifying a behavior of the phonons of the first phononic wave in the phononic region to manage heat conduction.
