Claim Text:
1. A thermal liner with a wall comprising: a plurality of bending members axially separated by non-axial slots; a plurality of bases circumferentially interspersed between and supporting said bending members; a plurality of connections, each configured between pairs of axially adjacent bases and non-axially adjacent non-axial slots and comprising one of a bridge and a joint; wherein axially neighboring bases are circumferentially offset by a displacement CO that is greater than the circumferential base length CB, and are positioned adjacent neighboring non-axial slots; and wherein, over a prescribed design increase in liner temperature and along a longitudinal line in the wall parallel to the axis, the strain relief capacity, being the sum of the axial widths of non-axial slots, is greater than 0.13% of the total axial non-slot wall length.
