Abstract
In order to clamp blades (1, 2, n) of turbomachines to influence the blade vibration occuring in such machines, the shroud plates (1a, 2a, na) are dimensioned in such a way that they are in contact with one another in the installed condition without clearance and without contact force or else they are dimensioned so that they exhibit a gap (3) relative to each other. A prestressed or pretorsioned, clearance-free connection occures between the shroud plates (1a, 2a, na) due to plastic deformation of the shroud plates (1a, 2a, na) in the region of their boundries or of the gap (3).
