Filed:
Oct 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/244938
Inventors:
William Kent Wagner - Somerville OH, US
John Frederick Ackerman - Laramie WY, US
Kenneth Lee Johnson - Loveland OH, US

Abstract:
A coated fan rotor blade and method for coating a fan rotor blade. The coated fan rotor blade includes a fan rotor blade; and a coating disposed on said fan rotor blade. The coating comprises a binder; and a filler made up of a plurality of particles. The filler material is incorporated into the binder material, and the particles in the filler interact to produce vibrational damping. In particular, the coating includes small, dense, flattened particles or plates that are incorporated into a thin layer of visco-elastic material, such as rubber, silicone, fluoro-elastomer, or urethane and bonded to the surface of the rotor blade to provide damping of high frequency excitation.
