The at least one pin has a pin body and a disk coupled to the pin body. The vibrational damping assembly further includes at least one plate disposed between the disk and the turbomachine component. The at least one plate is movable between the disk and the turbomachine component relative to the plurality of pins and relative to the turbomachine component to dampen vibrations experienced by the turbomachine component.

Abstract: A surface of the substrate consists in plurality of neighbouring stripe shaped flat surfaces of a width from 1 to 2000 ?m. Longer edges of the flat surfaces are parallel one to another and planes of these surfaces are disoriented relatively to the crystallographic plane of gallium nitride crystal defined by Miller-Bravais indices (0001), (11-22) or (11-20). Disorientation angle of each of the flat surfaces is between 0 and 3 degree and is different for each pair of neighbouring flat surfaces. Substrate according to the invention allows epitaxial growth of a layered AlInGaN structure by MOCVD or MBE method which permits for realization of a non-absorbing mirrors laser diode emitting a light of the wavelength from 380 to 550 nm and a laser diodes array which may emit simultaneously light of various wavelengths in the range of 380 to 550 nm.
