Main Propulsion Machinery

The subject of main propulsion machinery vibration history could fill several volumes all by itself. It includes the longitudinal, lateral, and torsional vibration of the propeller shafting system and the vibraiton of the prime mover, wheter it be a turbine system or diesels. Each of these subjects has its own history  of development, problems, analytical tehnlques, design criteria, and prospective fixes. Each of these subjects is treated briefly, but it is recommended that problems in these areas be referred to vlbratlon engineers.
