Dear All,
I am working on project called "strength analysis of highly skewed propeller", where I have to find maximum and minimum stress on propeller blade from structral analysis in ANSYS. The load condition considered in the analysis is Free sailing ahead condition .
I am confused with stress componenet to use from ansys. I have considered Von Mises stress for calulcation weather it is right or I have to use principal stress for the calculation.
If anybody has an Idea ,kindly share.
Thanking you in Advance.
Regards,
sachin
