Abstract
A turbine engine experiences 1P vibrations. The turbine engine includes a turbo-engine, a compressor for compressing air, and a combustor for combusting fuel and the compressed air to generate combustion gases. A turbine receives the combustion gases and drives a fan assembly. The fan assembly includes a fan disk and a fan blade with a fan blade centerline axis. The fan blade is subjected to 1P loading, generating the 1P vibrations. A fan blade root fixed to the fan blade and connected to the fan disk, is aligned with the fan blade centerline axis, and conducts the 1P vibrations. A damper positioned radially between the fan blade root and the fan disk damps the 1P vibrations.
