Abstract (en)

A turbine blade assembly (200) for turbo-machines including a blade body (202) including a free end (204) and a joint end (206), the blade body (202) comprising an airfoil section along at least one side of the blade body extending from the joint end to the free end. Further, the turbine blade assembly includes a blade platform at the joint end (206) of the blade body, suitable to abut a disc of a turbo-machine; and a blade root (220) that extends from the blade platform towards the disc (216), the blade root (220) comprising a plurality of lugs (222a-222d) and a plurality of fillets (224a-224c). The turbine blade assembly characterised in that the blade root (220) comprise a stress reducing structure (210a, 210b) including at least one slot (230, 235) having one of a continuous and discon-tinuous profile capable of countering stress at the plurality of fillets (224a-224c).
