WORKS
Modeling of the propeller is done using SOLID
WORKS. In order to model the blade, it is necessary to have
sections of the propeller at various radii. These sections are
drawn and rotated through their respective pitch angles. Then
all rotated sections are projected onto right circular cylinders
of respective radii.

VII CONCLUSION
The static analysis and dynamic analysis are carried out for
the three different type of materials, those are Aluminium,
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Glass Fibre
Reinforced Plastic (GFRP). Following are the important
conclusions are drawn from that analysis:
Static analysis:
1. The vonmises stress acting on the propeller produced
from aluminum is 658.3 MPa, and the total
deformation is 17.451 mm
2. The vonmises stress acting on the propeller produced
from CFRP is 642.99 MPa, and the total
deformation is 5.1022 mm
3. The vonmises stress acting on the propeller produced
from GFRP is 629.76 MPa, and the total
deformation is 3.2256 mm
Dynamic analysis:
1. The vonmises stress acting on the propeller produced
from aluminum is 5.5924 MPa, and the total
deformation is 0.013145mm
