Abstract

There is an increasing interest in the marine industry to use composites to improve the hydrodynamic and structural performance of naval structures. The materials used within the composite are commercially available, and it is important the development of the right mix of fibers, resin and laminate lay-up that provide the desired mechanical and environmental performance for marine application. In this paper, to improve the stiffness and control the geometry of the blades of a marine propeller made of carbon/epoxy genetic algorithm to determination of optimal stacking Sequence is used. Using this method will minimize the deformation of tip blades. The optimization process has executed by linking ABAQUS and MATLAB software. Optimal angles of blade propeller obtained by using this process.
