Simplest illustration to follow is front end of the Honeywell AS907 showing nut and spline. Axial load through the nut, torsion in the spline. Very common and simple type of joint - never goes wrong, apparently.
Well allmost never
lomapaseo, I have to apologize for thinking that you could not see the problem that splines could present. And a sense of humor as well
If I may impose on that sense of humor to partially quote you from back at #1816 back at page 91, on 12th December:
I don,t understand the hypothesis relative to this A380 thread of a link between thrust or tenperature to the failure causes
That's as much of a stretch as most of the other technical sounding discussions in this Rumors & News forum.
I assume that the pix you posted was not damage due to a can opener being left in the turbine
