Abstract
A panel of a combustor includes: an outer surface that is opposed to an inner peripheral surface of a shell so as to be spaced apart from the inner peripheral surface; and an inner surface that defines a combustion chamber extending in a flow direction from an upstream side of the combustor to a downstream side of the combustor. At least part of a neutral plane between the outer surface and the inner surface has a planar shape or a curved surface shape which extends in a circumferential direction and whose curvature is smaller than a curvature of a virtual circular arc that is concentric with the inner peripheral surface of the shell.

A panel of a combustor of a gas turbine, the panel being one of panels located inside a cylindrical shell of the combustor and lined up in a circumferential direction, the panel including a ceramic matrix composite,
- the panel comprising:
- an outer surface that is opposed to an inner peripheral surface of the shell so as to be spaced apart from the inner peripheral surface of the shell;
- and
- an inner surface that defines a combustion chamber extending in a flow direction from an upstream side of the combustor to a downstream side of the combustor, wherein:
- at least part of a neutral plane between the outer surface and the inner surface has
- a planar shape or
- a curved surface shape which extends in the circumferential direction and whose curvature is smaller than a curvature of a virtual circular arc that is concentric with the inner peripheral surface of the shell.
