A surface piercing propeller (SPP) in tunnel has been proposed recently as a new propulsion system for a high speed air cavity ship. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the characteristics of the SPP in tunnel through a series of model tests. A model propulsion system is placed on a dummy body made of Acrylics. The tunnel is divided into two regions by a guide vane extending from the inlet to the center of the propeller shaft. Air has been supplied from an air nozzle placed at the bottom of the dummy body and the changes in propeller performances caused by the air flow are investigated. The measurements are done for open water and in-tunnel conditions, both for fully and partially submerged propeller. The influence of the guide vane configurations on the propeller performance is also studied. The experiments are performed at the variable pressure circulation water channel of Inha University

In this study, the excessive noise and vibration phenomena of a high-speed Ro/Ro passenger ship were analyzed, and a countermeasure was taken based on them. This ship was granted a comfort class notation by the classification society, which was COMFORT-VIBRATION-II and COMFORT-NOISE-CREW-II. However, unfortunately, excessive noise and vibration in the aft part of the ship were delivered from the twin shaft propellers, and therefore the Class Requirement was not satisfied before delivery. In order to obtain the class notation, all of the concerned parties came to an agreement to reduce the noise and vibration level during operation after delivery because a seasonal ferry service was already scheduled and the cabin was fully booked. The root cause of the massive amount of noise and vibration was mainly the propeller-induced excitation pulse and beating that occurred from the mismatch of the rotating speeds of the two shaft lines. A 1st order vibrating force and beating phenomena existed in the propeller. Thus, a reduction of the excitation force, elimination of the beating phenomena, and decrease of the noise level at the aft area cabins and public spaces were required. In addition, structural reinforcements were conducted using pillars and additional girders at the aft part of the decks.

The fracture strength of cross groove type constant velocity joint is largely determined by the fracture strength of the cage having window-like pockets for retaining the torque transmitting balls. A stress distribution acting on the cage is influenced by rigidities of the rim portion and of the column members, therefore requires a calculation such as FEA. To analyze fracture strength of cage, a 3-D elasto-plastic finite element analysis and a submodeling technique are used to achieve both computational efficiency and accuracy. The results are in reasonably good agreement with experiment.

In this paper, fatigue crack propagation behaviors were investigated experimentally for the materials, carbon steel forgings (SF45A, SF50A, SF60A) which are used in the marine propeller shaft. The results obtained are as follows: The number of cycles required to grow crack length 1.30mm from microcrack initiation was about 60% of the total fatigue life. Fatigue crack propagation rate was expressed by the equation d(2a)/dN_B 2a/$N_f$ and the result was agreed well with the experimented data. And the equation d(2a)/dN=$C{\sigma}_a^m(2a)^n$ was evaluated also. Obtained material property m and n are 3~5 and 1-1.5 respectably, and the result was reasonably agreed to the data obtained from experiments.

우수한 비강성과 비강도를 지닌 복합재료를 이용한 자동차용 추진축(Propeller Shaft)의 사용은 자동차의 구조정량화, 소음/진동 감소, 승차감 향상 측면에서 개선된 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유/에폭시 필라멘트 와인딩(Filament Winding) 공빔을 적용한 복합재료 튜브와 금속재 플랜지 그리고 유니버셜 조인트로 구성된 상용 차의 추진축 개발과정 중 축의 진동특성에 대한 적합한 형상과 물성을 찾기 위해 유한요소법을 적용한 자유진동 해석과 FFT 해석장비를 이용한 진동실험 그리고 축을 운용속도까지 회전시켜 공진(Resonance) 현상 발생 유무를 소음량의 측정으로 판단하는 시험이 수행되었다. 그 결과 요구조건에 적합한 진동특성을 나타내는 추진축의 형상을 결정할 수 있었다.

Generally, the propeller shaft rate (PSR) estimation algorithm for the classification of the sonar target has the following problems: it requires both accurate and efficient the fundamental finding method because it is essential and difficult to distinguish harmonic family from the frequency spectrum, and further, it requires an easy design procedure in terms of its structures and parameters. To solve these problems, an evolutionary PSR estimation algorithm using an expert knowledge and the evolution strategy, is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively solves the problems in the realtime system application.

Impact behavior of large SF590A (Fe-0.65C-1.5Mn-0.035P-0.035S-0.3Cr-0.15Mo-0.4Ni-0.3Cu) forged propeller shaft was studied in this study. Charpy impact specimens were prepared from the forged product with different heat number. The impact value of each specimen with different heat number tends to vary greatly depending on the prior austenite grain size and, less significantly, on the amount of sulfur. The dominant metallurgical factors affecting impact behavior of SF590A forged product are discussed based on fractographic and metallographic observations.

As design trends has changed to have flexible aft hull structure, increased power output and stiffer shafting system, owners and classification societies have more concerned about shaft alignment. In the shaft alignment analysis, there are many uncertainties which are related in propeller generated force, bearing stiffness, crank shaft model and etc. in this study, it is focused on the effect of crankshaft model by comparing between equivalent model and actual crankshaft model.

Recently constructed ships are equipped with high efficiency propeller for low fuel consumption and comfortable operation. Based on the torsional vibration analysis of the shaft system of the high efficiency propeller, using the propeller damping method considering the characteristics of previous propeller designs, a considerable amount of analysis errors are found to be generated. These errors are expected to increase as the development of high efficiency vibration propellers continues. In this paper, errors in torsional vibration analysis, in accordance with various propeller damping methods, are reviewed. In addition, a propeller damping method suitable for use at present is suggested by reviewing the comparison results of analysis and measurement values according to the propeller damping methods for vessels adopting the high efficiency direct-coupled propeller with 10MW class.
