Vibration damping guide vane ring assembly of an axial flow turbomachine, including mutually adjacent guide vanes, individual cover plates each being rigidly connected to a respective guide vane forming a cover band of the guide vane ring, the cover plates being frictionally connected to each other and the cover plates of the adjacent guide vanes having wedge-shaped recesses formed therein between the cover plates, and wedge-shaped damping elements having surfaces and being movably inserted in the recesses, each of the wedge-shaped damping elements exerting a vibration damping pressure on the respective cover plates through the surfaces of the damping elements in response to an axial pressure difference across the guide vane ring.

Vibration damping guide vane ring assembly of an axial flow turbomachine, comprising mutually adjacent guide vanes disposed between first and second spaces on opposite sides of the guide ring vane ring, individual cover plates each being rigidly connected to a respective guide vane forming a cover band of the guide vane ring, said cover plates being frictionally connected to each other at mutual contact surfaces thereof; said cover plates of said adjacent guide vanes having wedge-shaped recesses formed in said contact surfaces between said cover plates, said recesses defining inclined surfaces of said cover plates extended between a wider and a narrower end of said recesses, and wedge-shaped damping elements being movably inserted in said recesses, said damping elements having surfaces matching said inclined surfaces of said cover plates extended between a wider and a narrower end of said damping elements; said wider ends of said recesses and said wider ends of said damping elements being in communication with said first space, said narrower ends of said recesses and said narrower ends of said damping elements being in communication with said second space, said first space having a greater pressure than said second space defining an axial pressure difference, each of said wedge-shaped damping elements being pressed into said recesses for exerting a vibration damping pressure on said respective cover plates through said surfaces of said damping elements in response to said axial pressure difference across the guide vane ring during operation of the turbomachine.
