A tunable mass damper assembly is attachable to a rotor blade. The tunable mass damper assembly comprises a base configured to be attached to the rotor blade and a pendulum mass structure movably attached to the base and configured to move relative to the base in accordance with a rotational speed of the rotor blade about a rotor axis. The pendulum mass structure is configured to reduce vibratory forces of the rotor blade induced by a rotation of the rotor blade about the rotor axis. An entirety of the pendulum mass structure being configured to be contained within and enclosed by the rotor blade.
