Abstract
The aircraft brake vibration damper (30, 60) comprises a mesh material (30, 60) located at axially extending spaced-apart side walls (22) of a spline (12) of a torque tube (10) so that the mesh material (30, 60) is located between the spline (12) and a metal cover cap (20, 50) for the spline (12). The mesh material (60) can extend about the torque tube (10) and splines (12) and completely over a top surface (17) of each spline (12). The mesh material (80) can be located in a cavity (75) of heat shield segments (70) located between the splines (12). The mesh material (30, 60, 80) may be a knit or woven damping material (30, 60, 80) that dampens vibrations during brake operation.
