Zusammenfassung:A rotor blade assembly for a rotor of a gas turbine engine having an axis of rotation includes a shank portion formed from a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material. The rotor blade assembly also includes a platform portion formed from a substantially similar CMC material as that of the shank portion. The platform portion is coupled to the shank portion. The platform portion and the shank portion cooperate to at least partially define two opposing side portions of the rotor blade assembly. The opposing side portions are angularly separated with respect to the axis of rotation. The rotor blade assembly further includes a damper retention apparatus. The damper retention apparatus is coupled to the shank portion. The damper retention apparatus includes at least one angled bracket apparatus extending toward a circumferentially adjacent rotor blade assembly.
