Abstract:
A system, including a combustor cap assembly, including a first plate configured to divide a combustion chamber from a head end chamber of a combustor, a first sleeve disposed about the first plate, and a first stiffening rib coupled to the combustor cap assembly, wherein the combustor cap assembly is configured to mount in a combustor, and the first stiffening rib is configured to damp vibration caused by combustion dynamics in the combustor.

Abstract:
A system for vibration damping a fuel nozzle within a combustor includes a support plate, a fuel nozzle passage that extends through the support plate and a cylindrical damping insert that is coaxially aligned within the fuel nozzle passage and at least partially defines the fuel nozzle passage. The damping insert may include a metallic-mesh liner.
