  • Reduction method of propeller shaft vibration of ships

    Authors

    K Aoyagi

    Date published

    1990

    Abstract

    Features of forcibly lubricated hydrostatic bearings and their potential applications in the reduction of shaft contact and valve induced vibration in stern tube assemblies particularly of ships with large diameter or freely rotating propellers discussed. Theoretical and experimental studies compare their characteristics with those of conventional hydrodynamic bearings. Sample calculations illustrate the derivation of specifications for a large tanker stern tube system.

  • Resistance and propulsion of ice-worthy ships

    Authors

    J W Lewis ; F W DeBord ; V A Bulat

    Date published

    1982

    Abstract

    Theoretical studies model tests and full scale trials data are combined to discuss the propulsion and hull resistance of ice-breaking ships - thrust deduction wake fraction rotative efficiency and propulsive efficiency are examined in the towed free-running and icebreaking conditions. Techniques for design prediction of icebreaking resistance and propeller parameters are considered.

  • Ships and offshore cabling - where to now

    Authors

    P Waterworth

    Date published

    1995

    Abstract

    New and existing standards for ships' and offshore cabling are reviewed including NES525526 BS6883 IEC92-35X and 27X series. Their suitability for various applications is examined and the problem of overly rigid safety standards which lead to their improper and inefficient use is discussed. A comparison between onshore and offshore practices is made and new materials and manufacturing processes are mentioned.

    Date published

    1981

    Abstract

    The finite element method is used to study electrochemical potential distributions around ships hulls to determine the effect of hull surface (paint) condition depth of water open and nozzle type propellers and to assess the effectiveness of zinc anode and impressed current corrosion prevention systems.

    Publisher

    IMarE Conferences and Symposia

    Abstract

    Mission profiles for representative large containerships and general purpose frigates are used to discuss the differences between merchant and naval operations. A general purpose model to determine the off-design performance of platform system components is developed and used to compare speed profiles fuel consumptions and emission (COx NOx HC) data for different propulsion concepts in merchant and naval ships.
