Abstract
A vibration absorber damper and method of dissipating vibration energy in a rotatable structure which is nominally cyclic symmetric. The nominally cyclic symmetric structure includes a hub portion having a rotational axis and a plurality of radial members radially extending from the hub portion. The hub portions having a groove extending circumferentially about the rotational axis. The vibrational absorber having a ring member having a plurality of repetitive cellular structures each defining a hollow interior section and a plurality of deformable members each extending from the ring member and disposed in a corresponding one of the repetitive cellular structures. Each of the deformable members is configured to interact with the cyclic symmetric structure to damp vibration thereof.
