PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mid-span shroud assembly with mitigated flutter.SOLUTION: A mid-span shroud assembly for a turbine blade airfoil includes a pressure-side shroud body which is associated with a pressure-side wall of the airfoil, and a suction-side shroud body which is associated with a suction-side wall of the airfoil. At least one of the pressure-side shroud body and the suction-side shroud body defines a coupling spar which is formed to extend at least partially through a bore hole defined within the airfoil of the turbine blade.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
