FURTHER EXPERIMENTS ON PROPELLER EXCITED RUDDER FORCES

The effect of bottom position and sweep angle on propeller excited vibratory force is explored. Sweep angle has been found to be particularly sensitive. A technique for separation of vibratory force and couple is developed and demonstrated for one rudder configuration.
