Abstract
Calculation of hull deflections in way of machinery spaces of two Great Lakes bulk carriers is presented. Methods of modeling and analysis by the finite-element method are discussed, and some results are given. Calculated results are compared with measured results. Calculation of shaft bearing influence coefficients with hull flexibility included is discussed. Finally, an application is presented in which a proposed alteration to an existing ship was analyzed.
