    Abstract: A platform seal and damper assembly for turbomachinery (100), such as fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) expanders or gas turbine engines; and methodologies for forming such assembly are provided. An axially-extending groove (160) is arranged on a side (162) of a respective platform. Groove (160) is defined by a radially-outward surface (168) at an underside of the platform and a surface (170) extending with a tangential component (T) toward radially-outward surface (168). A seal and damper member (152) is disposed in groove (160), where the body of seal and damper member has adjoining surfaces (190, 188) configured to respectively engage, in response to a camming action, with the surfaces (168, 170) that define the axially-extending groove. The camming action being effective to produce an interference fit of the seal and damper member (152) with the side of the respective platform (162) and an opposed side (163) of an adjacent platform.
