Rudder

This document discusses the design of a ship's rudder. It provides details on the purpose of an assignment to calculate the minimum rudder stock diameter and check requirements using Lloyd's rules. The document outlines the assignment which involves determining rudder dimensions, torque from experimental data, minimizing torque by varying the stock position, calculating root bending moment, and producing a rudder drawing. It also discusses rudder types, components, choice of section, and structural considerations in rudder design.
