Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor and a turbine section. At least one casing surrounds at least one of the compressor and turbine section. The at least one casing is formed of sheet metal. The at least one casing has at least one potential peak displacement point due to vibration across a speed range of the one of the compressor and turbine section. A damper is placed on the casing at the at least one potential peak displacement point. The damper has one end fixed to the casing, and a second end not fixed to the casing and the second end provides an interference fit such that the second end cannot move to a relaxed position of the second end due to the wall of the casing. A method is also disclosed.
