Abstract
A method enables a stator assembly for a turbine engine to be assembled. The method comprises forming a recess within a portion of each base, and coupling the stator vanes within the turbine engine in a circumferentially-spaced arrangement such that the recessed portion of each base facilitates reducing excitation responses of each of the plurality of stator vanes during engine operation.
