Summary:A shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine including a plurality of rotor blades. The shroud assembly includes a plurality of tip shrouds, a plurality of flanges, and a plurality of first compressible elements. Each of the plurality of tip shrouds includes an outer band. Further each of the plurality of tip shrouds is coupled to one of the plurality of rotor blades at a tip end. Each of the plurality of flanges extends radially outward from one of the plurality of tip shrouds. Each of the plurality of first compressible elements is coupled to at least one of the plurality of flanges or one of the plurality of tip shrouds and oriented in a first circumferential direction. Further, each of the plurality of first compressible elements is oriented toward an adjacent tip shroud such that the tip shrouds mechanically engage to form a circumferential shroud.
