Abstract

A torsional vibration monitoring system is being investigated, and an assessment of the economic efficiency of its implementation on ships is made. A schematic diagram of the torsional vibration monitoring system is illustrated and a photograph of an experimental sample of the monitoring system is provided. An assessment of the economic efficiency of the implementation of torsional vibration monitoring systems on ships is being carried out to prevent the occurrence of emergency situations with marine propulsion systems. The rules of classification societies, scientific and technical literature in the field of torsional oscillations and industrial economics, and the authors' own research were used as materials. The methods used are analysis and computational experiment. Data on the economic costs of the shipowner in the event of emergency situations in case of fatigue failures of elements of ship's engine and propulsion systems were obtained. An assessment of the costs for the development, installation and maintenance of a torsional vibration monitoring system on ships was made; as well as an approximate assessment of the volume of the Russian domestic market for installation and maintenance of torsional vibration monitoring systems on ships. It is noted that the cost of the consequences of propeller shaft failures ranges from several million to tens of millions of rubles. It is concluded that the development and implementation of torsional vibration monitoring systems will reduce the cost of the shipowner for a routine assessment of the technical condition of torsional vibration dampers and reduce the risks of costly accidents with shipboard engine complexes.
