A method of sealing one or more openings provided in a wall of an aerofoil for a gas turbine engine, the aerofoil comprising at least one cavity which is at least partly filled with a vibration damping material, the method comprising steps to provide a metallic material onto the wall of the aerofoil in order to cover the opening and bond the metallic material to the wall of the aerofoil to seal the opening.

The leading edge, the trailing edge, or both may be axially offset for a portion of the airfoils in a disk. By offsetting the airfoils, the downstream wake energy to the next stage of airfoils may be decreased. By staggering airfoils which are offset with airfoils that are not offset, the wake shapes from the airfoils may be out of phase and will not excite the downstream airfoils as much as conventional systems. This may decrease vibration and associated vibratory stresses in the system.

A turbomachine blade system, in particular for a compressor or turbine stage of a gas turbine, which includes at least one blade, in particular a moving or guide blade, and at least one moving body for reducing the vibrations of this blade, at least one area of a guide for guiding the body and/or at least one area of a supporting structure for resiliently mounting the body and/or at least one area of the body being or becoming generatively manufactured together with at least one area of the blade, in particular of a vane and/or blade root and/or a shroud situated thereon.

A blade for a turbo machine is provided. The blade for a turbo machine includes an airfoil body extending in a radial direction and including a suction side surface and a pressure side surface opposite to the suction side surface with respect to a circumferential direction extending across the radial direction, and a snubber structure including a first snubber element protruding in the circumferential direction from the suction side surface of the airfoil body and a second snubber element protruding in the circumferential direction from the pressure side surface of the airfoil body, wherein the first snubber element is connected to the suction side surface of the airfoil body by a concave curved first transition portion having a first radius, and the second snubber element is connected to the pressure side surface of the airfoil body by a concave curved second transition portion having a second radius, the first radius being smaller than the second radius.

An arrangement reduces oscillation (vibration) of an oscillatory structure. The arrangement has a structure having at least one mode in at least one direction; and an oscillation-reducing device (vibration-reducing device). The oscillation-reducing devices has a housing formed by or provided on the structure, a cavity, and a body configured for making impact contacts with the housing and disposed in the cavity in such a manner that the body is configured to make impact contacts with the housing at least temporarily for as long as the structure is excited in the at least one mode in the at least on direction.
