Propulsion shaft alignment measurements on warships afloat and alignment solution using multi-objective optimisation
Propulsion shaft alignment measurements on warships afloat and alignment solution using multi-objective optimisation is a scholarly work, published in 2007 in ''Journal of Marine Engineering and Technology''. The main subjects of the publication include strain gauge, marine engineering, finite element method, hull, propulsion, bolted joint, simulation, computation, process, marine propulsion, software, computer science, and engineering. The paper defines a generalised and simplified procedure which has been devised so that the alignment checks of a warship propulsion shaft line can be undertaken while the ship is afloat, against more traditional methods which often require dry docking of the ship.
