Abstract

Generally, the propeller shaft that constitutes the ship shaft system has different patterns of behavior due to the ef ects of engine power, propeller load and eccentric thrust, which increases the risk of bearing failure by causing local load variations. To prevent this, different studies of the propulsion shaft system have been conducted focused the relative inclination angle and oil film retention between the shaft and the support bearing, mainly with respect to the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships. However, in order to secure the stability of the propulsion shaft via a more detailed evaluation, it is necessary to consider dynamic conditions, including the transient state due to sudden change in the stern wakefield. In this context, a 50,000 DWT vessel was analyzed using the strain gauge method, and the effects of propeller shaft movement were analyzed on the starboard rudder turn which is a typical transient state during normal continuous rate(NCR) operation in ballast draught condition. Analysis results confirm that the changed propeller eccentric thrust acts as a force that temporarily pushes down the shaft to increase the local load of the stern tube bearing and negatively affects the stability of the shaft system.

선박 축계를 구성하는 프로펠러축은 엔진출력, 프로펠러 하중 및 편심추력의 영향으로 인해 거동의 양상이 달라져 선미관 후부베어링의 국부하중 변화를 일으킴으로써 선미관 베어링 손상의 위험을 증가시킨다. 이를 방지하기 위해 수행된 추진축계 정렬연구는 선급강선규칙을 중심으로 주로 축과 지지베어링간의 상대적 경사각과 유막유지를 최적화 하는데 중점을 두어 진행 되어왔다. 그러나 보다 상세한 평가를 통한 추진축계의 안정성 확보를 위해서는 전타와 같은 급격한 선미유동장 변화에 기인한 과도상태를 포함한 동적상태의 고려가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서, 본 연구는 50,000 DWT 선박을 대상으로 스트레인 게이지법을 이용하여 밸러스트 흘수 상태에서 정격회전수로 운전 중 대표적 동적 과도상태인 우현 전타상태에서의 프로펠러 축 거동이 추진축계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 변동된 프로펠러 편심추력은 프로펠러축을 일시적으로 강하게 내려 누르는 힘으로 작용하여 선미관 베어링의 국부하중을 증가시켜 축계 안정성에 부정적 영향을 미침을 증명하였다.
