DESIGN IMPROVEMENT OF A VISCOUS-SPRING DAMPER FOR CONTROLLING TORSIONAL VIBRATION IN A PROPULSION SHAFTING SYSTEM WITH AN ENGINE ACCELERATION PROBLEM

Design Improvement of a Viscous-Spring Damper for Controlling Torsional Vibration in a Propulsion Shafting System with an Engine Acceleration Problem

In order to cope with strengthened marine environmental regulations and to reduce fuel consumption, recently constructed vessels are equipped with an ultra-long stroke engine and apply engine de-rating technology.This was intended to improve propulsion efficiency by adopting a larger diameter Clamshell Packaging propeller turning at a lower speed b
