1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of two propeller shafts of the Interislander’s vessel Arater has broken. Interislander is questioning if the vessel may sail with the remaining propeller to Singapore or another port for repair.

DNV GL Materials Laboratory Section has performed fracture mechanics fatigue crack growth and unstable fracture assessments to determine the remaining fatigue life time based on different input assumptions.

A conclusion on the remaining fatigue life must be interpreted based on the NDT performed and the findings in this report.

2 INTRODUCTION One of two propeller shafts of the Interislander’s vessel Arater has broken. Interislander is questioning if the vessel may sail with the remaining propeller to Singapore or another port for repair.

The remaining shaft has been subject to NDT inspection without any indication of fatigue cracks. However, it is not possible to guarantee that there is no fatigue cracks in the shaft because limitations with the NDT equipment. Hence, it has been assumed that the shaft may have up to 5-10mm deep fatigue cracks.

DNV GL has been contracted by Interislander to perform fracture mechanics analyses in order to evaluate the remaining fatigue life until unstable fracture or an unacceptable large fatigue crack has developed.

Various levels of initial flaw sizes, different fracture toughness propertries, different crack growth parameters and maximum stress levels have been assumed and the remaining service life until unstable fracture have been calculated.

No calculations or evaluations of the fractured shaft are included in this report.

2.1 Objective The objective of this report is to summarize the fracture integrity assessments performed for the remaining shaft of Arater. The results may be used to give a robust evaluation of the remaining service life based on information about cracks from NDT inspection.

2.2 Assessment premises Information relevant for the fracture mechanics analyses are summarized in Table 2-1.

Fracture mechanics analyses are a valid tool for assessing the criticality of planar flaws and cracks. DNV GL has no information about planar flaws or cracks in the remaining shaft, but it is understood that NDT has been performed without findings. However, it is not for sure that the NDT technique used is able to detect cracks with heights less than 5-10mm. Hence, various initial flaw sizes have been assumed. The fatigue crack growth has been assessed for the initial crack sizes to grow to the critical flaw size for different maximum stress levels and fracture toughness properties. For some of the assessments the calculated fatigue life is not limited by unstable fracture, but geometry limitations for the various formulas used in the assessments, i.e. those cases will be somewhat conservative.

DNV has currently no detailed information about the exact shaft material designation or the fracture toughness properties of the propeller shaft, but different values have been assumed.

4 THE PRINCIPAL OF FRACTURE INTEGRITY ASSESSMENTS The principle of fracture integrity assessments are simple and are in general an equilibrium evaluation between the conditions trying to open up a flaw in a structural part and the materials resistance to open up. These parameters are normally referred as the Crack Driving Force (CDF) and the fracture toughness/tearing resistance if static loads are considered. Similarly if dynamic stresses are considered the crack driving force is normally described by KI which is calculated based on the dynamic stress ranges and geometry and the materials resistance to fatigue crack growth described by fatigue crack growth parameters. The principal of fracture mechanics are illustrated in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 The principal of fracture mechanics analyses

Considering static loads the crack driving force is normally assessed according to formulas in specific rules and standards or directly by FE analyses. For normal ductile metallic materials and static loads the CDF is normally characterized by Japp or CTODapp and the fracture toughness is characterized as Jmat or CTODmat or, J R- or CTOD R- tearing resistance curves, in case of tearing assessment. Both the fracture toughness and tearing resistance must be established by testing.

For dynamic loads where the crack driving force typically is lower the linear-elastic stress intensity factor K is normally used both for applied KI (for a given stress range) and for describing the materials fatigue crack growth properties, da/dN = A(K)m referred as the Paris equation. KI is calculated according to BS7910 given the applied stress range and geometry of the structural detail and flaw. The fatigue crack growth parameters are established from testing, but normally values according to BS7910 are used.

In many cases it is necessary to consider both fracture given a maximum stress condition and the crack growth considering fatigue loading as illustrated in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2 Illustration of fatigue crack growth until unstable fracture

The accuracy of the fracture integrity assessments are depending on many factors as for instance:

─ Description of global static and dynamic loads

─ Local geometry and local stress conditions

─ Materials stress-strain curve

─ The flaw size

─ How accurately the CDF is calculated (both statically and dynamically)

─ How representative the fracture toughness/tearing resistance properties are

─ How accurate the fatigue crack growth properties are specified

─ The failure criterion used (critical flaw size, specified flaw size, leakage etc.)

─ How the effect of weld residual stresses are implemented

A good tool for evaluating how important the different inputs are is to establish a good probabilistic model or to perform several input sensitivity analyses.

5 DESCRIPTION OF THE FRACTURE MECHANICS ANALYSES The analyses are in general performed in accordance with BS7910, ref. /1/, and the Crakwise software, ref. /2/, has been used.

5.1 Unstable fracture The unstable fracture is mainly depending on the maximum stress normal to the crack that needs to be considered and the fracture toughness property of the material.

Hence, it is difficult to predict the fracture capacity of the shaft when theses input parameters are uncertain. However, some values which are believed to be representative have been assumed. The inputs are summarized in Table 5-1.

As long as the fracture toughness properties are not significantly lower than normally expected and/or the maximum stress is not very high, the unstable fracture is typically not important for the remaining fatigue life considering relatively small initial cracks.

A shaft speed of 160 RPM and 5200 kW has been estimated to give bending moment of 165 kNm which gives a bending stress Pb equal to 38.6 MPa. The shaft speed is now specified to be 140 RPM and using the propeller low the bending moment is calculated as 1402/1602 = 0.77x165 = 126.3 kNm. According to propeller experts a 50% increase on that is a conservative estimate of the extreme bending stress in the shaft. Hence, a reasonable extreme bending stress is 44.4MPa.

Figure 5-1 Assumed stress-strain curve representative for the shaft material

The fracture mechanics model describing a semi-circular surface flaw in a round bar has geometry limitations and it is not possible to calculate a fatigue crack through the whole thickness. The results are shown in Section 6.

5.2 Fatigue crack growth analyses It has been assumed that Arater will sail at 160 RPM at power 5200 kW, i.e. 8400 revolutions per hour and 201,600 revolutions (load cycles) per day. According to rough estimated performed by the Machinery Section at DNV GL the dynamic stress range is Pb = 77.1MPa based on 160 RPM and 5200 kW.

Normally the shaft will be covered in oil and the fatigue crack growth parameters for air environment in accordance with BS7910 should be applicable. However, some extent of seawater cannot be ruled out and crack growth parameters for marine environment and free corrosion have also been assessed.

The mean crack growth parameters (expected values) and the crack growth parameters for mean plus two standard deviations (characteristic design values) have been used. The parameters are in accordance with BS7910 and are summarized in Table 5-2.

6 RESULTS

6.1 Critical flaw height

Figure 6-1 Critical flaw height versus applied maximum bending stress considering different fracture toughness properties

It is not possible to calculate critical flaw heights exceeding 140.8mm because formulas given in BS7910 are not valid for a/D>0.4.

If the fracture toughness CTOD is 0.2mm or higher and the maximum bending stress is less than 200MPa the critical flaw height will be larger than 140mm (the maximum bending stress is believed to less than 45MPa). If the fracture toughness properties are low, for instance CTOD 0.05mm, the critical flaw height will still be at least 140.8mm as long as the maximum bending stress is not higher than approximately 120MPa.

Most likely the CTOD fracture toughness is better than 0.05mm and the maximum bending stress lower than 50MPa. Hence, the remaining calculated fatigue life assessed is not dependent on unstable fracture but limitations in the formulas, i.e. the results are somewhat conservative.

However, the remaining life time after the flaw has grown to 140mm is very short and in general the unstable fracture is not important for the fatigue lives assessed unless the initial crack size is larger, the fracture toughness is lower, the maximum stress is considerably higher or a combination of these.

6.2 Fatigue life until 140.8mm flaw height The minimum initial flaw height that can be assessed is 4mm due to formula limitations. Hence, the initial flaw height has been specified as 4mm in all the assessments. However, from the crack growth versus time graphs it is still possible to read out the remaining fatigue life for other larger initial flaw heights as illustrated in Figure 6-2.

Figure 6-2 Illustration of how the assessment results should be understood

Because some seawater may be present crack growth parameters for four different situations have been assessed as follows:

─ Air environment and mean crack growth parameters (expected values)

─ Air environment and mean plus two standard deviation crack growth parameters (typical characteristic values used in design)

─ Marine environment under free corrosion and mean crack growth parameters (expected values)

─ Marine environment under free corrosion and mean plus two standard deviation crack growth parameters (typical characteristic values used in design)

The results based on 77.1MPa bending stress range and the various crack growth parameters are shown in Figure 6-3 and summarized in Table 6-1.

7 CONCLUSIONS Fatigue crack growth analyses for various fatigue cracks to grow to 140.8mm crack height in an Ø352mm propeller shaft have been performed. The assessments are valid for the Arater vessel sailing at 140 RPM.

As long as the fracture toughness is not lower than 0.05mm CTOD and the maximum bending stress is not exceeding 110MPa the remaining fatigue lives calculated are valid.

It is seen that the remaining fatigue lives are very dependent on the initial crack size as well as the environment and reliability which is basis for the crack growth parameters used.

NDT is performed without any findings but due to uncertainties it is not guaranteed that heights less than 5-10mm are detected.

Both air and marine environment under free corrosion crack growth parameters have been used in the assessments.

The mean crack growth parameters represents expected fatigue lives, but in worst case the fatigue crack growth may be as high as the mean plus two standard deviation parameters.

A conclusion on the remaining fatigue life must be interpreted based on the NDT performed and the findings in this report.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Failure analysis and condition assessment were conducted on the starboardand port propeller shafts of vessel “MV ARATERE” respectively following thefracture of the starboard propeller shaft discovered on 5th November 2013.The vessel was docked in Keppel Shipyard Pte Ltd (Gul Yard) situated at 55Gul Road in Singapore during March 2014 for repair and inspection.

The objectives of the assessment were as follows:

(i) To determine the cause(s) of the fracture initiation of the starboardshaft

(ii) To determine the condition of the port shaft pertaining to the elementalconstituents of the deposits and copperish tint, and the morphology /characteristics of the pits that were reportedly found on the shaft.

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The starboard shaft of the vessel fractured during sailing on 5th November2013, causing the fractured shaft end portion with the propeller to fall into thesea. The fracture of the shaft was reported to be located within the propellerhub area at about 10 to 15mm away from the forward end of the hub.

The port shaft was subsequently examined and found with deposits,copperish tint and unusual markings, which resembled pits, when the vesselwas docked for servicing in February 2014. For easy reference, the said areawith the deposits, copperish tint and markings was termed as “damaged” areain this report. The “damaged” area was reportedly located with the propellerhub area similar to the fracture location of the starboard shaft. The port shaftwas however reportedly found with no linear discontinuity under magneticparticle inspection (MPI).

It was reported that the port and starboard shafts were installed in 1998 andhad been in service for over 16 years. There was no report of servicing of thetwo shafts. However, the two propellers were reported to have been changedto a new design, involving longer and thinner propeller blades two years ago.

The technical drawing of the shaft is attached in the Annex of the report.

4.0 ASSESSMENT RESULTS OF STARBOARD SHAFT

Preliminary site visual examinations of the shaft was conducted prior to andafter its removal from the stern tube on 5th and 7th March 2014 respectively.The fractured shaft sample was received on 7th March 2014 for laboratoryafter it was dismantled and sectioned near to the fracture area.

Visual examination was also conducted on the propeller on 7th March 2014,which had been removed and relocated to the workshop of Mencast MarinePte Ltd at No.7 Tuas View Circuit Singapore.

The site and laboratory photographic documentation and results are compiledin Appendix A, figures A1 to A17.

4.1 Site Visual Examination of Starboard Shaft

The fractured shaft was still retained within the stern tube during the siteexamination on 5th March 2014 (figure A1). The fracture was located withinthe propeller hub seat area near the forward end. The fracture plane wasessentially oriented transversely across the shaft’s cross-section.

Examination of the external surface of the shaft after it was removed from thestern tube revealed that the existing condition of the shaft was generally intactand satisfactory apart from some circumferential surface marks at localizedareas (figure A2).

The shaft was then sectioned at about 100mm away from the fracture edgeusing a band-saw at Keppel Gul yard to bring back to the laboratory fordetailed analysis (figure A3). The fracture surface of the shaft was observedto be generally flat and smooth across slightly more than 80% of its cross-section with the remaining area showing a rough and undulating appearance(figure A3). A thumbnail shape mark of darker appearance, which apparentlycorresponded to the fracture initiation site, was observed at the periphery ofthe middle of the smooth fracture surface area.

Examination of the surface of the shaft near to the fracture edge revealed acircumferential line at about 15mm away from the fracture initiation site. Thecircumferential line corresponded to the boundary of the inserted portion ofthe shaft at the forward end of the propeller hub, which was observed to begenerally darker than the surface outside of the boundary line.

Some localized dent and smearing damage was also observed at theperiphery adjacent to the fracture initiation due likely to secondary mechanicaldamage sustained in the course of the total separation of the fractured shaftportion inserted within the propeller hub.

4.2 Site Visual Examination of Starboard Propeller Hub

The propeller hub was observed to be generally intact apart from a localizeddent damage at the edge of the bore, which was located close to the fractureinitiation site of the shaft (figure A4). This was apparently associated withsecondary damage sustained in the course of the total fracture of the shaftwhere similar damage was observed at a localized area of the periphery ofthe fracture edge adjacent to the fracture initiation site. The internal surface ofthe hub did not reveal any significant damage or wastage apart from somescattered presence of darkish stains/deposits.

Two of the four propeller blades were observed with dark irregular markingson the surface (figure A5). The fracture initiation site of the shaft was noted tobe located near to one of the blades with surface markings. It is not known ifthe markings were superficial surface irregularities or associated with weldrepair patches, etc. The verification of the nature of these markings washowever not within the scope of this assessment.

The old propeller hub was also located at the workshop (figure A6). It wasobserved that the old propeller hub had thicker and shorter blades. Theinternal surface of the hub was also generally intact apart from some patchesof darkish stains near to the forward end.

4.3 Laboratory Visual Examination of Starboard Shaft

The relatively flat and smooth fracture surface of the shaft which occupiedslightly more than 80% of the cross-section was observed with distinct beachmarks throughout (figure A7). Close examination revealed a relatively broadthumbnail shape area of slightly darker appearance where the beach markswere observed to have emanated from, corresponding to the fracture initiationsite (figure A8). Apart from some localized smearing damage at the adjacentarea of the peiphery, no obvious defects was observed at the fractureinitiation site.

The propagation of the beach marks, which are indicative of fatigue crackpropagation, were initially observed to be oriented normal to the fractureinitiation site (figure A7). The progressive orientation of the crack fronts of thebeach marks gradually tilt asymmetrically towards the right side of the fracturesurface (relative to the picture in figure A7), likely associated with theinfluence of rotational bending fatigue towards the latter part of the crackpropagation.

The remaining part of the fracture surface after the boundary of the beachmarks had rough and undulating appearance consistent with the final fractureregion.

Examination of the shaft surface adjacent to the fracture initiation siterevealed a few minute transverse fissures oriented parallel and close to theedge of the main fracture (figure A9).

4.4 Fractographic Examination of Starboard Shaft

Fractographic examination was conducted on the fracture surface using aHitachi S3400 scanning electron microscope (SEM). The fracture surface wasultrasonically cleaned in Alconox solution prior to the examination.

The fractographic features on the fracture surface had generally beenobliterated due to smearing and interfacial rubbing in the course of the failure(figures A10 to A12). Some striated features, which may be associated withvestiges of fatigue striations, were observed at isolated areas of the fracturesurface (figures A11 and A12).

4.5 Sectional Metallographic Examination

Sectional metallographic examination was conducted radially andperpendicularly across the fracture initiation area. The metallographic sectionwas mounted, ground, polished and etched in accordance with ASTM E3-11and ASTM E407-07e1. The macrographs and micrographs are shown infigures A13 to A15.

The fracture path was generally smooth and transgranular with no significantgrain deformation (figures A13 and A14). The slight inclination of the crackpath, which was essentially transverse to the surface, turned slightly afterabout 0.1mm depth of propagation. The observed fracture propagationmorphology was consistent with fatigue crack propagation. An incipient crackwith generally similar transgranular morphology was also observedpropagating from the shaft surface in the vicinity of the fracture (figure A15).

The shaft surface at and away from the fracture and incipient crack wasgenerally intact with no significant corrosion or damage observed (figures A14and A15).

The base material of the shaft material had satisfactory ferrite and pearlitemicrostructure, typical of normalized steel. No material defects or anomalieswas observed at the fracture initiation site and the general areas of thesection examined.

4.6 Micro-Hardness Test

Micro-hardness test was performed on the representative locations of themetallographic section using an Akashi MVK-G1 micro-hardness tester with apenetration load of 300gf at 55X magnification in accordance with ASTME384-11e1. The hardness test results are summarized in the table below.

The average hardness values of the shaft surface adjacent to and away fromthe fracture initiation area were generally consistent, ranging from 208 HV to217 HV. The approximate tensile strength of the base metal based onconversion of the average hardness of 200HV with reference to ASTM A370-11 was 650N/mm2, which was complied with the specified tensile strengthrequirements of 600 to 650 N/mm2.

4.7 Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) Analysis

Semi-quantitative EDX analysis was conducted on the scale/deposits on thefracture surface and shaft surface. A Thermo Scientific UltraDry EDX detectorwith NoranTM System 7 X-ray microanalysis system coupled to a HitachiSU3500 scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used. The EDX results aretabulated as follows and the EDX spectra are shown in figures A16 and A17.

5.0 ASSESSMENT RESULTS OF PORT SHAFT

Preliminary visual examination of the shaft prior to removal from the sterntube was conducted on 5th March 2014, followed by detailed inspections on10th and 12th March 2014 after the shaft was removed. Visual examinationwas conducted on the propeller on 7th March 2014, which had been removedand relocated to the workshop of Mencast Marine Pte Ltd.

The site and laboratory photographic documentation and results are compiledin Appendix B, figures B1 to B13.

5.1 Visual Examination of Port Shaft

The shaft was observed to be covered with white developer used for MPIduring the initial preliminary inspection (figure B1). Examination of localizedareas where the developer had been removed revealed fine pits andcopperish tint at about 930mm from the first step of the shaft from the aft end,which corresponded to the location at around 20mm from the forward end ofthe hub within the propeller hub seat area.

The shaft was later removed from the stern hub and the MPI developeraround the reported “damaged” area was cleaned to facilitate examination.Irregular blackish patches with some apparent scale were observed scatteredcircumferentially around the shaft surface at approximately 830mm to 930mmfrom the first step of the shaft from the aft end, which corresponded to thepropeller hub seat area (figures B2 to B4). Close examination revealed thatthe blackish patches at the shaft surface were roughened with clusters ofminute pits.

The shaft surface within the propeller hub seating area was also tinted withstreaks and patches of copperish material within and adjacent to the darkishpitted patches (figures B3 and B4). Closer examination revealed that thecopperish material had smeared onto the shaft surface at scattered locationsaround the circumference.

The depth of the pits at the shaft surface were measured using a Mitutoyo pitgauge. A total of six locations were examined. The depth of the pits rangedfrom 0.92 to 0.99mm.

5.2 Visual Examination of Port Propeller Hub

Visual examination of the propeller hub revealed there were similar darkishpatches and discoloration on the aluminum bronze propeller hub surface nearto the forward end that corresponded to the irregular blackish patches andcopperish smeared areas on the shaft (figure B5). The remaining surface ofthe propeller hub in contact with the shaft was generally intact with nosignificant damage, discoloration or deposition.

5.3 Surface Replication of Port Shaft

Surface replication was conducted on the following locations of the shaft todetermine the characteristics of the pits and the copperish tint areas.

(i) Base metal away from the “damaged” area outside of the propeller hubseating area

(ii) “Damaged” area – Across blackish patch(iii) “Damaged” area – Across area with copperish tint

The examined surfaces were replicated using an acetate tape in the existingcondition and after being lightly polished and etched in accordance withASTM E407-07e1 and ASTM E1351-01 (2012) to obtain the microstructure.The replicated surfaces were later examined under an optical microscope inthe laboratory. The replicated micrographs are shown in figures B6 to B9.

Base Metal. The base metal exhibited fine ferrite and pearlite microstructure,consistent with normalized carbon steel material (figure B6).

Blackish Patch Area. At a magnification of 50X, it was observed that theclusters of pits were generally in the form of essentially circular craters amidstthe non-pitted surface, which revealed machining marks associated withfabrication (figure B7). At a higher magnification of 200X and 500X, the shaftsurface within the pits revealed a roughened surface. The rough morphologyof the shaft surface inside the pits was consistent with corrosion attack. Someof the darkish scales had detached off from the shaft surface and were stuckonto the replicated acetate tape within the pits. The surface was later polishedand etched, which revealed a satisfactory ferrite and pearlite microstructure,similar to that of the surface away from the “damaged” area (figure B8).

Copperish Tint Area. The surface replica of the copperish tint area revealedscattered irregular patches covering parts of the generally circumferential linemarks of the shaft surface. Copperish particles were observed on the irregularpatches, indicating that the copperish tint was associated with the aluminumbronze propeller material that was smeared onto the shaft (figure B9).

5.4 In-Situ Hardness Test

In-situ hardness test was conducted on the base metal within and away fromthe “damaged” area with compliance to ASTM E110-10. A KrautkramerMIC10 portable hardness tester was used for the test. The hardness readingsare presented in the following table.

The average hardness values of the base metal within and away from the“damaged” area were 193 and 190HV respectively. The approximate tensilestrength values, based on conversion of the hardness readings with referenceto ASTM A370-12, were 629 and 620 N/mm2 respectively, which were withinthe stated tensile strength requirement of 600-650 N/mm2 of the shaft.

6.0 DISCUSSION

The site assessment and laboratory analysis findings revealed that thestarboard shaft had failed by fatigue within the propeller hub seat area at justabout 15mm away from the forward end of the hub. This corresponds to therelatively high stress area where the shaft section starts to taper and the shaftdroops from the overhanging weight of the propeller. The upper and lowersurfaces of the shaft would be subjected to tensile and compressive stressesrespectively which alternates accordingly as the shaft rotates. Apart from suchcyclic bending stresses, the shaft may also be subjected to a complex array ofcyclic axial and torsional stresses as well as stresses associated with thrustand vibration.

The presence of stress raisers such as corrosion pits, notch marks,metallurgical defects, etc, can also help to facilitate fatigue initiation. However,laboratory examination of the received sample of the shaft did not reveal anysignificant presence of corrosion pits, mechanical notch or material defects atthe fracture initiation site, whilst noting that the examination was confined tothe fracture half of the shaft towards the forward end. The available findingssuggests that the fatigue failure was more likely associated with appreciablecyclic stresses sustained at the shaft area near the forward end of the hub.The initial orientation of the progressive crack front pattern normal to the shaftsurface suggests the involvement of essentially bending and possibly axialstresses. As the crack extended deeper into the cross-section, rotationalbending effects started to play a more influential role which accounted for theslight tilting of the crack front progression at the latter half.

In view of the above findings and the installation of propellers with a differentdesign two years ago, it may be beneficial to model and study the stressdistribution on the shaft associated with the new propeller and assembly.

Examination of the port shaft, where the full length of the propeller hub seatarea was available, revealed some extent of corrosion with clusters of minutepits of up to about 1.0mm deep at localized irregular blackish patches near tothe forward end of the hub. The blackish scales on the surface wereessentially iron oxides of the steel corrosion products with some traces ofchloride, suggesting some corrosion activity at the interface between the huband the shaft near to the forward end. There was also some transfer ofsmeared copper alloy material from the propeller hub onto the shaft surface.

7.0 CONCLUSION

Fracture cause of starboard shaft. The fracture of the shaft within thepropeller hub seat area at about 15mm away from the forward end of the hubwas attributed to fatigue cracking. No significant material defects, mechanicaldamage or corrosion pits was found at the fracture initiation site of thefractured shaft sample. The microstructure and hardness condition of the shaftwas generally satisfactory and consistent with the material specificationrequirements. The fatigue failure was most likely due to appreciable cyclicbending stresses sustained at the particular area of the shaft during operation.

Condition of port shaft. The surface of the shaft at the propeller seat hubarea was generally satisfactory apart from the scattered presence of irregularblackish patches and copperish tint particularly near the forward end of thehub. Localized corrosion in the form of clusters of minute pits of up to about1.0mm deep was observed within the irregular blackish areas. The copperishtint observed at scattered areas of the shaft was essentially associated withthe aluminum bronze material of the propeller hub that had smeared onto theshaft surface. The microstructure and hardness condition of the shaft wasgenerally satisfactory and consistent with the material specificationrequirements.

2 INTRODUCTION

This report contains the results of the shaft alignment calculation for the following propulsion plant.

• Shipyard ASTILLERO BARRERAS

• Type of vessel Car- & Train Ferry

• DWT 5,464 tonnage

• Year of built 1998

• Classification Society DNV

• DNV ID No. 20091

• IMO No. 9174828

The vessel is equipped with twin-screw electrical-driven propulsion plant. For each propulsion shaftline,

two electrical motor drive the fixed pitch propeller via the gearbox and shafts. The low speed shaftline is

comprised of a fixed pitch propeller, propeller shaft, three intermediate shafts and the gearbox. The

propeller shaft is resting on four sterntube bearings (including one auxiliary bearing next to the aft

bearing). There are two inboard intermediate bearings supporting the intermediate shafts. The

propulsion arrangement is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Shaft arrangement

2.1 Scope of work

The scope of work is to make an assessment of the as-built shaft alignment situation of the low speed

shaftlines. Then making a shaft alignment calculation and installation procedure in compliance with DNV

Rules. The two shaftlines are identical, but the as-built alignment situation is individual, i.e. both

starboard- and portside-shaftline is considered in this report. Shaft alignment calculations have been

carried out using the DNV Nauticus Machinery v..11.4 Shaft alignment tool.

All work is performed with reference to relevant drawings and documentations received from the

customer.

3 METHOD DESCRIPTION

3.1

The conditions considered in this report are.

1. Cold static condition (Jack loads calculated)

2. Warm static condition

3. Warm running at MCR condition, 0.25 x T0

3.2 Shaft model

The theoretical model used for the analysis is based on the referenced drawings received and technical

information supplied by the customer. The model of low speed shaftline is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Shaft model

The propeller was modeled by introducing the mass at the centre of gravity. Propeller cap is introduced

as point mass.

The effective contact length of the bearings in Figure 2 is illustrated by the blue elements. In order to

obtain an realistic alignment it is important to model the shaft to bearing interaction as correctly as

possible. This is particularly important for the bracket bearing due to the significant length of the bearing.

The aft bearing is modelled with two support points at each end of the bearing. Other bearings are

modelled with one support point in the middle of the bearing. The wheel shaft of gearbox is modelled

according to maker’s simplified model. The thermal expansion of the main wheel shaft is included.

The centre points of the aft bracket bearing aft seal housing and forward sterntube bearing seal housing

are regarded as the reference points which the zero-offset reference line is running through.

Only the low speed shaftline is considered in the alignment, i.e. for the gear box, only the output shaft

with the main wheel is included in the alignment model. The gear box model is based on the drawing and

data given by Reintjes as shown in Figure 5 below.

Figure 5 The drawing of gearbox output shaft

The thermal expansion of the main wheel bearings is 0.21 mm which is given by Reintjes. The main

wheel bearing diametrical clearance, mass of main wheel and output shaft were obtained from the

received drawings and data.

Figure 13 State of horizontal plane, Warm static condition, Starboard side shaftline

Figures above show that all bearings are loaded in cold static condition. The bracket bearing is modelled

as a two-points-support bearing. The nominal relative shaft slope in the bracket bearing is found to be

less than 0.3 mm/m.

In the warm static condition the output shaft with main wheel is marginally raised, resulting in the same

load and slope for the bracket bearing compared to the cold condition because of long distance between

gear box and bracket bearing. The load difference between aft and forward wheel shaft bearing is small

which satisfies the acceptance criteria well.

The bending stress of the shaftline is found low. This result is satisfying.

The limits taken from the newbuilding time were used, as found in the report made by BV Technicas. The

original tolerances for the bearing loads were +/-20% of the calculated load. For the gearbox bearing the

makers limits were used.

These limits are valid for the time when the alignment of the propulsion system was verified, i.e. at

quayside before seatrial. Over time the bearing loads will change, this is natural development. But the

changes shall not be so that the minimum or maximum limits are tested.

4.4 Reaction influence numbers

The reaction influence numbers matrix is a calculation of the reaction force change for all bearings in the

system if a given bearing is moved by 1.00 mm. The matrix can be used as a guideline if adjustment on

any shaftline bearing is required. The unit for the RIN-numbers is N/mm.

5 SHAFT ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

This alignment procedure is only guidance to the yard for installation of the shaft and verification of the

alignment. Before the alignment can start, all the essential welding works must be finished.

5.1 Aligning with the strain gauge method

This method consists of reading the strain values on the shaft in several sections. The strain values are

measured at the top and bottom of of each shaft section. Strain gauges will either be stretched,

compressed or neutral. The diameter, or area, at which strain is measured will then give the bending

moment at this section.

The measured resulting bending moments and bearing loads are compared with calculated values after a

reverse engineering alignment calculation is made. Note, that the ship’s condition must be as foreseen in

the calculation report. No temporary supports are relevant and the shaftline is con

5.2 Verification with the jack method

Alignment verification with jacking consist of hydraulically jacking the shaft near the bearing to be

verified, and plotting the deflection (lift) versus jackload (force) in a jack load graph as seen below.

When jacking, all couplings must be connected and the jacking shall be carried out when the ship is in

afloat condition. The jack is placed at a certain distance from the bearing as specified in the calculation

report. Both the ascending and descending values must be recorded and plotted. The readings can be

done from a load cell or an oil pressure gauge. It is recommended to use a loadcell to improve the

quality. The difference between the ascending and descending values should be within 40% of the jack

load.

The straight line drawn in the middle between the linear part of the ascending and descending curve is

called the ‘theoretical shaft response’ and represents the bearing influence number. The jack load is in

the point where the dotted line is crossing the force axis. The jack load can be converted to the bearing

load by multiplying with the jack correction factor. See measurement result example in Figure 18.

5.3 Recommended shaft installation procedure Alignment and verification should be carried out according to the following steps:

1. The stern tube is assumed to be aligned in the dock. The line running through centre of the aft

and forward sterntube seal spigot is defined as the reference line (0.00 offset).

2. A preliminary alignment of the inboard bearings and main gear should be carried out in dock.

The laser measurement specification given by DNVGL Advisory is to be followed.

3. Finish the propeller shaft installation including the shaft sealing.

4. The fixed pitch propeller must be mounted prior to the alignment.

5. Fill the stern tube with oil. (Recommended, required to be noted if no oil is filled) Connect the

shaftline.

6. Check the run-out at each bearing with a dial gauge.

7. Make a jack load measuement in cold static condition. Place the lifting device with a load cell or

hydraulic jack with a pressure gauge at the jacking positions. Place a dial gauge on the shaft just over

the jack position. Lift the shaft in steps and record both lift displacement and jack force for ascending

and descending steps.

If the run-out indicated shaft is bent it is recommended to turn the shaft 90deg and repeat the jacking to

see the influence to the jack load. If significant deviation of the two jacking results, turn the shaft 90deg

and repeat jacking again. Convert the jack loads to bearing loads. Compare the load value to the

allowable value.

8. Calibrate the strain gauges. Make a strain gauge measurement. Make a reverse engineering

calculation and evaluate the results. If needed adjust the intermediate bearing and if needed the main

gear. Re-take jacking measurements after adjustment. Re-evaluate the results.

9. The jacking measurements is recommended to be taken at cold ambient temperatures at afloat

condition. (i.e. normal ambient conditions with main gear in cold condition).

10. The jacking measurements are converted to bearing loads and verified against the recommended

limits. This to be main gearbox maker’s allowable loads and loads +/-20% for the shaftline bearings as

shown in the approved alignment calculation made by BV, Dwg no. TN 437/DTA/VIL/es rev. 1, dated

17/07/98.

11. If the all the bearing loads and installation checks of the main gearbox all are within limits, carry

out the final chocking of the main gear and the intermediate bearings.

Items 1 – 5 should be carried out in the dry dock and items 6 – 11 should be carried out afloat. It is of

importance to verify the alignment by jacking afloat.

6 SEATRIAL

The sea trial was carried out according to the Cedervall Start-Up Procedure shown in the appendix. The

procedure was followed as far as it was possible. Variations were allowed since the sea trial was

performed outside Singapore where traffic is dense. In addition to running in of the bearings some

turning tests etc. are to be performed.

6.1 Bearing temperature measurements

The seawater temperature was 30.3 °C at the start of the seatrials. The draught of the vessel was

respectively 4.3 and 4.7 m for the aft and forward end. In the table below you find the start and alarm

temperatures for the bearings.

6.1.1 Bearing temperature acceptance criteria

The acceptance criterias are not only the absolute set alarm temperature levels. Instead, more

importantly the bearing temperatures are to be raised simultaneously and with similar trends over the

respective start temperatures for all bearings.

These temperature trends indicate that alignment of the sterntube bearings is in good order and that no

excessive friction occurs between the shaft and the bearings for normal running conditions. Same can be

said for the intermediate bearings. Temperature spikes are to be avoided. If temperature events take

place the Cedervall procedure is to be followed.

The following starting temperatures and temperature limits were used.

6.1.2 Bearing temperature measurement results

So far the sea trial was successful and the lubrication oil temperature only increased by a few degrees

Celsius during the sea trial. The figures below show the trends at Deadslow and Slow speed ahead.

These trends are typical for a twin screw inward rotating propeller configuration. No temperature spikes

were noticed at any time. The result so far is satisfying.

6.2 Whirling vibration measurements Whirling vibration measurements were made and the propulsion system was monitored at two locations.

First location is where the A-brackets attach to the hull. In this location shaft induced vibrations was

monitored on the A-bracket by accelerometers.

Second location is directly on the shaft just forward of the forward seal using proximity transducers. This

type of measurement is a direct measurement of the shaft displacement over time.

The accelerometers and proximity transducers can measure if a resonance is found in the upper speed

range. This is done during trial runs. The upper speed range is defined as 70% of the MCR speed. If a

resonance is found the induced vibrations are excessive and amplified many times over normal levels.

It is hard to state an absolute level in mm/s2, mm/s or mm. But as an example, in vibration velocity at

the A-bracket support it would be in a range of 20-60 mm/s. At these levels mechanical damage, i.e.

cracks is to be expected.

7 CONCLUSIONS

The analysis carried out is based on the referenced documentation for this vessel. Any changes of the

design which have effects of the alignment makes this report invalid and re-calculations of the alignment

should be considered.

The scope of work was to carry out a shaft alignment calculation, installation procedure and show

acceptance criterias for verification of satisfying alignment of the propulsion line. The strain gauge

method was carried out together with normal jack load measurements. Reverse engineering calculations

was carried out to evaluate the results.

The report presents the as-built alignment calculation for the low speed shaftlines of the vessel. It also

shows the verification of alignment during installation and seatrial. The propulsion system is presented

for the port- and starboard-shaftlines.

7.1 Alignment result

The proposed alignment was found to satisfy the specified shaft, bearing and gearbox acceptance criteria

for all investigated conditions. The chosen alignment is found to be the best compromise for what could

be achieved as the present as-built alignment.

Bracket bearings and sterntube bearings:

These four oil-lubricated bearings are loaded for all operating conditions investigated. The loads are

within the bearing acceptance criteria for all conditions.

Intermediate shaft bearings:

The calculated and measured bearing loads are within the requirements for all calculated conditions.

Main wheel bearings:

The calculated and measured average bearing loads are within the acceptance criteria offered by

Reintjes in cold and warm static condition.

7.2 Seatrial results

Bearing temperature measurements

So far during the seatrial the temperature levels and trends are typical for a twin screw inward rotating

propeller configuration. No temperature spikes were noticed at any time. The result was satisfying.

Whirling vibration measurements

Still to be done.

The Appendix is for reference material and results.
