A rotor blade for a rotor assembly is provided that includes a root, an airfoil, a platform, and a damper. The airfoil has at least one cavity. The platform is disposed between the root and the airfoil. The platform includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a damper aperture disposed in the inner surface. The damper has a body and a base. The base and the damper aperture have mating geometries that enable the base to rotate within the damper aperture without substantial impediment from the mating geometries.
