1. A turbine assembly for use with a gas turbine engine, the turbine assembly comprising:
a turbine case arranging circumferentially around an axis,
a turbine shroud assembly including a carrier segment made of metallic materials arranged circumferentially at least partway around the axis and radially inwardly of the turbine case and a blade track segment coupled to the carrier segment, the carrier segment being coupled to the turbine case to define a portion of a gas path of the turbine assembly, and
a locating plate arranged circumferentially at least partway around the axis coupled with the turbine case and axially forward of the carrier segment to block axially forward movement of the carrier segment and prevent separation of the carrier segment from the turbine case, the locating plate including a main wall, a raised portion extending upwardly away from the main wall a first radial distance, a first support extension extending upwardly away from the main wall a second radial distance and a second support extension circumferentially spaced apart from the first support extension and extending upwardly away from the main wall the second radial distance, the first and second support extensions being circumferentially spaced apart from the raised portion, wherein the second radial distance is greater than the first radial distance such that, in a first arrangement, the locating plate is arranged such that the first and second support extensions contact the turbine case and the raised portion is spaced apart from the turbine case, and, in a second arrangement, the locating plate is arranged such that the first and second support extensions and the raised portion simultaneously contact the turbine case via a fastener extending through the turbine case and the raised portion so as to dampen vibrations of the locating plate.
