<p>A method of tuning a compressor stator blade (122), having a base portion (132) and an airfoil portion, to achieve a desired natural frequency, comprising: a) identifying the natural frequency of the compressor stator blade (122); b) determining a different target natural frequency for the compressor stator blade (122); and c) removing material from at least one of the side surfaces (171), (172), (173), (174) of the base portion (132) of the compressor stator blade (122) in an amount and in a configuration that achieves the target natural frequency.</p> |
