APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TUNING VIBRATORY RESPONSE OF ROTOR BLADE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for reducing a vibratory response of a rotor blade by a desired amount.SOLUTION: Provided is a method and apparatus for reducing a vibratory response in a structure using a tuning object 312. A selected mass is identified for the tuning object. A plurality of channels are formed in a workpiece having a mass greater than the selected mass to form the tuning object having the selected mass. The tuning object is bonded to the structure using an adhesive bond to reduce the vibratory response of the structure.
