ABSTRACT:
A rotor blade for a rotor assembly which has a laterally extending shroud is disclosed. Various construction details and design techniques for the shroud which reduce the weight of the blade and increase the cyclic fatigue life of both the rotor blade and an associated component are developed. The shroud of the rotor blade is contoured in the lateral direction for nearly uniform stress distribution.
