Abstract:
1. A blade for a turbomachine, comprising: a blade section extending in a blade section longitudinal direction having a first end configured to connect to a rotor shaft and a second end; and an outer shroud element terminating the blade section in the blade section longitudinal direction at the second end, the shroud element extending essentially at right angles to the blade section longitudinal direction and having first and second platform sections projecting beyond the blade section and being asymmetric with respect to one another, wherein a greater bending torque acts on the first platform section than on the second platform section during operation of the blade, and wherein the first platform section is disposed at an additional inclination angle with respect to a normal alignment of the first platform section, the additional inclination angle being in an opposite direction to the bending torque acting on the first platform section during operation.
