%0 Journal Article %T Propeller Blade Design Using Partial Differential Equations with Three Vector Valued Shape Parameters %A Zainor Ridzuan Yahya %A Jamaludin Md Ali %J Matematika %D 2007 %I Universiti Teknologi Malaysia %X Partial differential equation (PDE) surface which is defined as a solution of a PDE has many advantages in surface blending, generation of free-form surfaces and others. In this paper, we will investigate the designing of a blade with three vector valued shape parameters. We will investigate the effect of shape parameter's change with respect to the shape of the blade used. The solution to a 4th order PDE is solved analytically with consideration of computational efficiency. %K Partial differential equation %K propeller blade design %K three shape parameters. %U http://www.fs.utm.my/matematika/images/stories/matematika/20072328.pdf
