A method of fabricating a turbomachinery blade is provided whereby high stress levels associated with stripe mode resonance can be avoided. Once the nodal pattern for an objectionable stripe mode resonance condition of a metallic blade is determined by conventional means, a portion of the blade parent metal near the tip is replaced with a composite patch, the composite patch comprising elongated filaments embedded in a matrix material. The chordwise extent of the patch includes the nodal points at the objectionable stripe mode resonance condition and the filament orientation is chordwise to enhance chordwise stiffness.
