Abstract
This paper describes the work to design a composite bladed marine propeller. The hydrodynamic load and the nonlinear structural responses are predicted by the coupled FEM/CFD method. A pre-twist strategy is used to determine a new geometry of the composite bladed propeller for improving the hydrodynamic performance. Different material schemes and symmetric stacking sequences are considered as the design parameters. An evaluation method of multi-objective function is presented for optimizing the strength, deflection and mass at design conditions. Numerical results are obtained and the optimal design scheme of the composite bladed propeller is obtained. 15 Refs.
