CA 2555987

A C-clip (56) for a gas turbine engine includes an arcuate outer arm (60) having a first radius of curvature; an arcuate, inner arm (58) having a second radius of curvature which is substantially greater than the first radius of curvature; and an arcuate extending flange (54) connecting the outer and inner arms (58, 60). The flange (54), the outer arm (60), and the inner arm (58) collectively define a generally C-shaped cross-section. A shroud assembly (33) includes a shroud segment (32) with a mounting flange (54), and a shroud hanger (34) with an arcuate hook (44) disposed in mating relationship to the mounting flange (54). An arcuate C-clip (56) having inner and outer arms (54) overlaps the hook (44) and the mounting flange (54). The shroud segment (32) and the C-clip (56) are subject to thermal expansion at the hot operating condition. A dimension of one of the shroud segment (32) and the C-clip (56) are selected to produce a preselected dimensional relationship therebetween at the hot operating condition.
