Abstract
An example method of designing blade lobes of a turbomachine blade and corresponding disk lobes includes determining contact areas between the blade lobes on a blade model and the disk loads on a disk model when the turbomachine blade is in a loaded position. The method adjusts the blade lobes, the disk lobes, or both, so that gaps are established between the blade lobes and the disk lobes at the contact areas when the turbomachine blade is in an unloaded position. The size of the gaps varies.
