Genetic algorithm is a optimization technique based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Global optimum solution can be obtained efficiently by operations of reproduction, crossover and mutation in genetic algorithm. The authors developed a computer program which can optimize marine propulsion shafting by using binary-coded genetic algorithm and modal analysis method. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the developed computer program, we apply the program to a optimum design problem which is to obtain optimum diameters of intermediate shaft and propeller shaft in marine propulsion shafting. Objective function is to minimize total mass of shafts and constraints are that torsional vibration stresses of shafts in marine propulsion shafting can not exceed the permissible torsional vibration stresses of the ship classification society. The computational results by the program were compared with those of conventional design technique.

With the trend towards high propulsive level, increasing ship's dimensions and heavier shaft systems supported by the hull structure of relatively stiffness in modern ships, transverse vibrations of propulsion shaft system have become one of the problems that should be predicted in the early design stage. Regarding transverse vibrations, coupling terms such as oilfilm, gyroscope and hydrodynamic effect of the propeller exist between the vertical and horizontal vibration, furthermore for the shaft system with strut and bossing its physical properties incorporated with hull structure must be considered. In order to predict the transverse vibratory condition of the propulsion shaft and take some appropriate countermeasures, it is necessary to make a fairly strict estimation of the vibratory behaviours of it. In this paper, theoretical approach using the finite element method is investigated to calculate natural frequencies and vibration modes for coupled free transverse vibrations of shaft system in two planes. Based on the method investigated a digital computer program is developed and is applied to calculate the above-mentioned vibrations of an experimental model shaft system. The results of the calculation are compared with those of the experimental measurements and they show an acceptable agreement.

Since the scale of vessels is growing up recently, some troubles between the shaft and after bush bearing are frequently reported. Generally, mean pressure on bush bearing is used as a design criterion. However, in some case of the long bearing such as after bush bearing of the propulsion shaft, it might be liable to be locally under high pressure. As for the main engine bearings and the intermediate shaft bearing, it is reasonable to take the mean pressure as a design criterion. But, in case of after bush bearing, it is not sufficient because of the possibility of high pressure caused by local contact. In this study, Hertzian contact condition was applied to evaluation of the local pressure for after bush bearing. To reduce the local maximum pressure, the height of the after bush bearing was controlled. It was found that local maximum pressure could be reduced effectively by taking a partial slope on the white metal of the aft bush bearing.

The present work was conducted to build a propulsion system for an airship. For this purpose, free shaft gas-turbine was modified to produce electrical power. he experiments were carried out to analyze the driving rotor condition at various power shaft loads. From this analysis, an appropriate damping device was required, and the changeable inertial moment from the fly-wheel was applied. Without the appropriate damping device, instability was found, and it was resulted as power loss. Also the amount of inertial moment was certified by the performance of dynamic transient effects from the engine test results. Knowledge gained from this research could benefit the propulsion and power conversion community by increasing the better understanding of shaft loads and inertial effects.

In this study, the flow analyses were performed on the fluid clutch turbine blade shapes of models 1, 2 and 3, with eight turbine blades tilted at 45 °, 40 °, and 35 ° angles on the propulsion shaft, respectively. The larger the angle of inclination on the propulsion shaft, the higher the flow pressure among the flow models after the back of the turbine blades. On the other hand, the smaller the angle of inclination on the propulsion shaft of the turbine wing, the lower the flow rate. It can be seen that the smaller inclination angle of the turbine blade surface on the propulsion shaft, i.e., the wing shape close to perpendicular to the flow of fluid, is more suitable for efficiently connecting and disconnecting the fluid clutch. By applying the flow analysis by type of turbine blade of fluid clutch,the study result at this paper is considered to be favorable as the convergent research material which can apply the aesthetic design.

The Composite materials has been used in the field of high technology industry because of high specific stiffness and high specific strength. Specially, the composite materials has been widely applied to the field of the aircraft and the transportation by the effectiveness of light weight due to low specific weight and reduction of the parts due to bonding, molding and so on. These advantages about the composite have led to study and apply in the transmission shaft for the aircraft and the drive shaft for the automobile. The composite material propeller shaft with the high vibrational stability was designed and analyzed. In order to verify the analysis, two types of experimental test which are the FFT analyzer with impact hammer and the rotational equipment were applied.

The author has developed the computer program in order to calculate the optimum alignment condition of marine propulsion shafting by linear programming method. The input of program was calculated by the matrix method of three-moment. He compared the calculated values with the experimental values measured by the strain gage on the model shaft, and the values of calculation on actual propulsion shafting with those of Det norske Veritas. The computer program of optimum alignment has been applied to the actual shaft. The results obtained are as follows: 1. To obtain the reaction of supporting points in the straight line necessary to the optimum alignment and the reaction influence number, after the computer program had been developed and then adapted, the result of experimental values and calculated values agreed with each other and the values of the actual shaft were also approximately similar to the values of other program. 2. In this paper, the measuring method on model shaft by strain gage can be effectively used at the time of adjusting alignment condition of actual shaft. 3. The supporting bearing should be considerably readjusted to the vertical direction in order to satisfy some limited condition.

In recent years, the importance of environmental regulations is increasing in the shipping industry, and the demands of the industry for this are rapidly increasing. Accordingly, the demand of ship owners is increasing as the shaft generator is a technology that responds to environmental regulations that can be applied to ships the fastest. The shaft generator is a device that can increase the fuel consumption rate of the main propulsion engine by installing an electric motor in the main propulsion engine and using it variably according to the load environment. It operates by the power of the motor at low speeds, and when a sudden load is required, the main propulsion engine and motor operate together, enabling efficient operation. In this paper, the diesel engine and shaft generator of a tug boat are modeled using MATLAB Simulink, and the fuel consumption rate is verified through simulation.
