Abstract: A turbine blade includes an airfoil body having an outer tip and a platform; and a part-span shroud positioned between the outer tip and the platform of the airfoil body. The part-span shroud has a first opening extending through the airfoil body and having a first inner surface. The airfoil body includes a second opening extending radially from the first opening and having a second inner surface. A first elongated vibration-damping element is disposed in the first opening, and a second elongated vibration-damping element disposed radially in the second opening. The second elongated vibration-damping element includes a free radially outer end and a radially inner end coupled to the first elongated vibration-damping element. The first elongated vibration-damping element frictionally damps vibration, and the second elongated vibration-damping element damps vibration using impact within the second opening.

Abstract: A turbine component includes a root and an airfoil extending from the root to a tip opposite the root. The airfoil forms a leading edge and a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge. A plurality of axial cooling channels in the trailing edge portion of the airfoil are arranged to permit axial flow of a cooling fluid from an interior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of making a turbine component includes forming an airfoil having a trailing edge portion with axial cooling channels. The axial cooling channels are arranged to permit axial flow of a cooling fluid from an interior to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of cooling a turbine component is also disclosed.

Abstract: A turbine component includes a root and an airfoil extending from the root to a tip opposite the root. The airfoil forms a leading edge and a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge. A plurality of nested cooling channels in the trailing edge portion of the airfoil permit passage of a cooling fluid from an interior of the turbine component to an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of making a turbine component includes forming an airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge portion extending to a trailing edge, and a plurality of nested cooling channels in the trailing edge portion. Each nested cooling channel fluidly connects an interior of the turbine component with an exterior of the turbine component at the trailing edge portion. A method of cooling a turbine component is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vibration damping system includes a vibration damping element for a turbomachine nozzle or blade. A body opening extends through the turbomachine nozzle or blade between the tip end and the base end thereof. A vibration damping element includes a volute spring vibration damping element configured to be installed within the body opening in the turbomachine nozzle or blade. The volute spring vibration damping element includes a spiral coil of a metal sheet strip with a surface of the metal sheet strip contacting itself in a direction of an axis of the coil. The body opening has an inner dimension, and the volute spring vibration damping element has an outer dimension sized to frictionally engage the inner dimension of the body opening to dampen vibration. In certain embodiments, the body opening and the volute spring vibration damping element each have a conical perspective shape.

Abstract: A coating is applied to a base material. The coating comprises a viscoelastic layer having a surface in which cavities are formed; and a constraint layer. The viscoelastic layer is disposed on the base material, and the constraint layer is disposed on, and partially bonded, at an interface, to the viscoelastic layer over the surface in which the cavities are formed. The cavities are filled with particles configured for vibration and frictional interaction at the partially bonded interface between the partially bonded viscoelastic layer and the constraint layer. A turbine blade having an airfoil with the subject coating is also provided.

Abstract: A gas turbine that includes a rotor blade that includes an airfoil. The airfoil may include non-integral base and top portions. The airfoil may include a pin connector connecting the top portion to the base portion. The pin connector may include: a tab extending from the top portion; a complimentary slot for receiving the tab formed in the base portion; an elongated pin cavity formed through an interior region of the airfoil, where the pin cavity intersects the slot to divide the pin cavity into first and second pin cavity segments; a tab aperture formed through the tab, where the tab aperture is positioned so align with the pin cavity upon the tab being received within the slot; and a locking pin that extends continuously through the first segment of the pin cavity, the tab aperture, and the second segment of the pin cavity.
