<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relatively lightweight aerofoil component capable of favorably enhancing efficiency of, for example, a gas turbine engine, and a method for producing the same. <P>SOLUTION: This aerofoil component has root and airfoil portions, the airfoil portion having an airfoil tip and oppositely-disposed concave and convex surfaces that converge at leading and trailing edges of the airfoil portion. The airfoil portion has at least one stiffener between first and second walls thereof that define the concave and convex surfaces, respectively. The stiffener defines multiple internal cavities within the airfoil portion that extend in the span-wise direction of the airfoil portion. A polymeric material fills at least one of the internal cavities and is bonded to the airfoil portion only at a first tip part of the internal cavity relatively nearer the root portion, and not to the stiffener or to the first and second walls of the airfoil portion, to define an internal damping member that provides a vibratory damping effect to the airfoil portion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
