Abstract: A method of supporting a cantilevered component mounted to a hub by locating a cassette in proximity to the cantilevered component, the cassette defining a volume for filling with an encapsulant; filling the volume with an encapsulant material; and causing the encapsulant to solidify to the cantilevered component to support the cantilevered component. The cantilevered component is preferably a blade on a bladed disc and the encapsulant provides support to change the vibration response of the blade during a subsequent machining step.

Abstract: A fixture for stiffening a thin-walled component comprises linking elements which support respective biasing parts and pressure parts. The biasing parts are arranged to urge the pressure parts to press on a thin-walled component, and the linking elements are rigidly connected to one another to resist a reaction force exerted on the pressure parts by the thin-walled component.
