A hollow plank of a combustor liner defining a combustion chamber including an inner wall having a plurality of inner openings and one or more inner holes, an outer wall having one or more outer openings and a plurality of outer holes, a plurality of lateral walls coupled to the inner wall and the outer wall to define a cavity, and a partition wall connected to the plurality of lateral walls and dividing the cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The one or more outer openings communicate with the first sub-cavity and communicate through a plurality of tubes with the second sub-cavity. The plurality of inner openings communicate with the second sub-cavity and communicate with the first sub-cavity through one or more bypass tubes. The first sub-cavity or the second sub-cavity, or both, are frequency tuned to reduce combustion dynamic frequencies.
