Abstract

A machine includes a rotor supported for rotation about a rotational axis, an outer casing having an inner bore, and an inner casing disposed within the inner bore and surrounding a portion of the rotor, the inner casing including a first joint interface. A head member is disposed within the inner bore and includes a first joint interface that engages a second joint interface to form a joint therebetween. A compliant element is formed as part of the first joint interface and arranged to allow for movement of the second joint interface along the rotational axis in response to the thermal expansion of the inner casing.
