ABSTRACT:
A fan blade includes a metal airfoil having first and second opposite sides extending longitudinally between a root and a tip, and laterally between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil further includes a plurality of fine striations spaced laterally apart between the leading and trailing edges in the airfoil first side, and extending longitudinally between the root and the tip. A viscoelastic filler is bonded in the striations for damping torsional vibrations of the airfoil.
