A damper for damping vibration of a structural member of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The damper may include a first metal mesh pad which abuts an outer circumferential surface of the structural member, and a garter spring which abuts the first metal mesh pad. Both the metal mesh pad and the garter spring may completely or partially encircle the structural member. Alternatively, the damper may include a damper cover which encloses the first metal mesh pad and the garter spring and which abuts the outer surface of the structural member. A second metal mesh pad may be inserted between the damper cover and the garter spring. A gas turbine engine which comprises such a damper is also disclosed. |
