2-D versus 3-D stress analysis of a marine propeller blade

Boi Chau Tham         

Abstract: 
Streszczenie: 

The shapes of propeller blades are built from two-dimensional data of blade cross sections. The stress field of propeller blades are analyzed basing on the results of three-dimensional models and, previ-ously, on beam models. In this paper the possibility of applying the theory of thin shells for this pur-pose is discussed.
