SOME CONSIDERATIONS OF MARINE SHAFTING DESIGN

Abstract

This paper, the first part of which was published in our September/October issue, was one of eleven read during the 1979 Conference on Operational Aspects of Propulsion Shafting Systems, organized jointly by the Institute of Marine Engineers and the Committee on International Co‐operation on Marine Engineering Systems (ICMES). We are grateful to the Institute for permission to republish the paper for the interest of all who have been concerned with vibrational, flexing and bearing problems inseparable from the development of VLCC and ULCC vessels during the past twenty years.
