Abstract

The shaft system of a vessel becomes stiffer because of larger engine power, whereas the hull structure becomes more flexible because of scantling optimization conducted by using high-tensile thick steel plates. The draught-dependent deformation of the hull affects each bearing offset and reaction force comprising the subsequent shaft system. This is the reason that more sophisticated shaft alignments are required. In this study, an FE analysis performed under the expected operating conditions of two (2) vessels, as maximum draught change and to analyze the shaft alignment using the relative bearing offset change, which was derived from an FE analysis of the 50,000 DWT oil/chemical tanker, which has become an eco-friendly vessel in recent years. Based on this, the influence of the hull deflection on the bearing offset was reviewed against results for shaft alignment conditions.

선박이 고출력화, 대형화 됨에 따라 추진축의 강성은 증가한 반면에 선체는 고장력 후판을 사용하므로 이전의 선체보다 훨씬 더 쉽게 변형되는 실정이다. 흘수변화에 따른 선체변형은 축계를 구성하는 각각의 베어링 옵셋 및 반력에 연쇄적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 이는 기존의 선박보다 더욱 정교한 축계정렬이 요구됨을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 친환경 고효율 선박으로 등장한 5만 DWT급 석유화학제품운반선을 대상으로 선박의 흘수 변화에 따른 선미부 구조해석을 실시하고 구조해석으로부터 얻어진 축계의 상대변위를 이용하여 축계정렬 해석을 수행하였다. 구조해석은 선박의 통상 운항조건에서 최대 흘수 변화를 고려한 2개 조건에서 수행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 선체변형에 따른 베어링 옵셋 변화가 축계정렬에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.
