A Measurement System to Monitor Propulsion Performance and Ice-Induced Shaftline Dynamic Response of Icebreakers
Polar navigation entails challenges that affect the continuation of ship operations in severe ice conditions. Due to ice-propeller interaction, propulsion shafting segments are often at a high risk of failure. Efficient methods for shaft line design are hence needed to ensure the safety of ice-going...
