Description
Summary:This paper examines the impact of composite structure geometry on naval design, with a particular emphasis on ship rudders. Key parameters such as shape, profile, thickness, fibre orientation, and angle of attack are analysed to determine their role in improving hydrodynamic efficiency, structural performance, and durability. The use of composite materials enables the development of lighter, stronger rudders with enhanced manoeuvrability and reduced hydrodynamic resistance. Optimized geometric configurations contribute to increased operational efficiency and extended service life. Further research is needed to refine design methodologies and explore new composite material applications to enhance the performance and reliability of ship rudders.
