... shows a reduction in maximum stress by 22% compared to the initial design; this was achieved with only 11% (4kg) gain in fiber weight. displacement aerodynamic load maximum stress optimisation sailing conditions sail shape semeraro structural analysis integrated fluid-structural analysis...

... with particular emphasis on the variability of primary load paths with changing trim and sailing conditions as well as the impact of sail deformation in the direction of relatively small stresses that is often poorly addressed in many proprietary sail construction methods. sailing conditions resistance...

... in sailing conditions, e.g. a series of gybes in winds of 40 knots Function of Full-length Battens But before pursuing this approach, we believe it is first Full-length battens are aligned parallel to the airflow necessary to gain a better understanding of the problem by over the sail, and extend from...
