A computational iterative design method for bend-twist deformation in composite ship propeller blades for thrusters

This study investigates the feasibility of utilising common composite material layup techniques in ship propeller blade design to achieve an automatic pitch adjustment through bending-induced twist deformation. A comprehensive design approach, including various reinforcement materials and arrangemen...
