Abstract
A damper for a turbine rotor assembly of a gas turbine engine may include a forward plate with a forward face and an aft face, and an aft plate with a forward face and an aft face. The aft face of the forward plate may be connected to the forward face of the aft plate with a longitudinal structure. An area of the aft plate in a plane transverse to the longitudinal structure may be greater than an area of the forward plate in the plane transverse to the longitudinal structure. The damper may also include a pocket on the forward face of the forward plate.
