Title: Turbine blade with tuned damping structure

Abstract

A turbine blade is provided comprising: a root; an airfoil comprising an external wall extending radially from the root and having a radially outermost portion; and a damping structure. The external wall may comprise first and second side walls joined together to define an inner cavity of the airfoil. The damping structure may be positioned within the airfoil inner cavity and coupled to the airfoil so as to define a tuned mass damper.

Pressurized damping fluid injection for damping turbine blade vibration

Patent Delvaux, John McConnell; Lang, Claire Fridtjof; Chakrabarti, Suryarghya

A blade vibration damping system impacts a pressurized damping fluid on a surface of at least one of a plurality of blades of a turbine in opposition to a vibratory movement thereof to cause damping of vibration of the blade(s) during operation of the turbine. The system includes a fluid injection nozzle in a stationary component adjacent the plurality of blades. A valve selectively admits the pressurized damping fluid to the fluid injection nozzle from a source of pressurized damping fluid, and a control system controls the valve to operate the fluid injection nozzle in response to an operational parametermore » « less

Wind turbine blade with viscoelastic damping

Patent Sievers, Ryan A.; Mullings, Justin L.

A wind turbine blade (60) damped by viscoelastic material (54, 54A-F) sandwiched between stiffer load-bearing sublayers (52A, 52B, 56A, 56B) in portions of the blade effective to damp oscillations (38) of the blade. The viscoelastic material may be located in one or more of: a forward portion (54A) of the shell, an aft portion (54D) of the shell, pressure and suction side end caps (54B) of an internal spar, internal webbing walls (54C, 54E), and a trailing edge core (54F).
