COMPLAS 2021 is the 16th conference of the COMPLAS Series.
The COMPLAS conferences started in 1987 and since then have become established events in the field of computational plasticity and related topics. The first fifteen conferences in the COMPLAS series were all held in the city of Barcelona (Spain) and were very successful from the scientific, engineering and social points of view. We intend to make the 16th edition of the conferenceanother successful edition of the COMPLAS meetings.
The objectives of COMPLAS 2021 are to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation. COMPLAS 2021 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the nonlinear structural mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research directions.

Abstract
In this paper, a simplified numerical approach is applied to the analysis of the linear vibrations of aluminum or composite marine propeller blades with embedded viscoelastic films, around a predeformed nonlinear state. This approach allows to evaluate in a sequential way the nonlinear deformation, induced by the generation of lift (propulsion phenomenon), and the acoustic power emitted (vibroacoustic phenomenon) of a non-cavitating flexible marine propeller blade. For a given incident flow, the deformation of an aluminum blade is much smaller than that of a composite blade. The composite blade’s deformation has a significant positive impact on lift generation whereas the deformation of the aluminum blade tends to reduce traction. The dynamic characteristics of the aluminum blade at rest and under the fluid induced static load are similar, while those of the composite blade are very different in these two cases. The simplified two-step approach proposed in this study is therefore useful to accurately assess the emitted sound power by the vibrating blades.
