Longitudinal Vibration Transmission Control of Marine Propulsion Shafting with Friction Damper Integrated into the Thrust Bearing

Research on the Marine Shafting Torsional Vibration with Gears Transmission

Abstract The torsional vibration of marine propulsion shafting has been studied for more than a century. With abundant research achievements and experiences, a systematic approach of vibration calculation has been put forward for ship industrial applications. However, literature review indicates that when processing the gear transmission in the shaft line, the meshing motion has been treated as...

Screening of Slow Speed Marine Diesel Propulsion Shafting Design Space

Original scientific paper In this paper a systematic exploration of a typical two-stroke slow speed marine diesel propulsion shafting design space is performed. First, a set of the four most influential design parameters is defined, consisting of shafting stiffness, propeller, turning wheel and tuning wheel mass moments of inertia. Then, a full set of 625 design points is defined. For each desi...

Vibration Control of MR Damper Landing Gear

In the field of Automation, Fuzzy Control Fuzzy control has significant merits which are utilized in intelligent controllers, especially for vibration control systems. This paper is concerned with the application aspects of the developed MR damper for landing gear system, to attenuate the sustained vibrations during the landing phase. Also a comparative study is made on the responses obtained f...

Propeller Induced Structural Vibration through the Thrust Bearing

Propeller induced structural vibration through the thrust bearing is an important source for low frequency shipboard noise and underwater sound radiation from a submarine hull. Such vibration is investigated using a scaled experimental model. This research concentrates on the experimental characterization of propeller force, hydrodynamic force of the thrust bearing and vibration transmission th...
