Vibration Analysis of Ship Propulsion Shaft with the Stern Bearing Characteristics

Abstract:

Efficiency improvements in ships lead often to increased size and speed. However, due to the increase in the agency's output, the weight of the propeller, propulsion shaft, vane pitch and the number is increased. Simultaneously, various. vibrations occur in the shaft. Thus, the design of shaft, and vibration analysis has become a challenging matter. In this study the vibration analysis of ship propulsion shaft has been performed, considering the stern bearing characteristics, and established the measures for shaft vibration with suggestion for shaft design method.
