    Abstract: A vibration damping system includes a vibration damping element for a turbomachine nozzle or blade. A body opening extends through the turbomachine nozzle or blade between the tip end and the base end thereof. A vibration damping element includes a volute spring vibration damping element configured to be installed within the body opening in the turbomachine nozzle or blade. The volute spring vibration damping element includes a spiral coil of a metal sheet strip with a surface of the metal sheet strip contacting itself in a direction of an axis of the coil. The body opening has an inner dimension, and the volute spring vibration damping element has an outer dimension sized to frictionally engage the inner dimension of the body opening to dampen vibration. In certain embodiments, the body opening and the volute spring vibration damping element each have a conical perspective shape.
