The blade is composed of an outer surface and an inner spar. The spar is 0.02 meters thick , and the outer surface is of varying thickness. A table containing the material properties of the two parts is below.
// | Spar | Outer Surface |
---|---|---|
Young's Modulus (Pa) | 101E9 | 33E9 |
Poisson's Ratio | 0.30 | 0.30 |
Thickness | 0.02 | 0.03 - 0.00048485*X |
