Abstract
The paper presents a numerical method of identification parameters of marine power transmission system’s alignment in the case of the lack of producers’ data. Proper shaft line alignment is often a problem for repair shipyards, for aged ships without sufficient documentation. The authors have proposed a combined experimental - analytical method for identification of some existing parameters and checking (and eventually correcting) power transmission system’s foundation. The specialised software has been developed for shaft line alignment calculations with influence coefficients. The example of analysis has been performed for cargo ship with medium-speed main engine and the second one with slow-speed propulsion system. Multivariant computations supported by measurements of the ships’ shaft line have been investigated.
