Stiffening of a boat propeller shaft bearing support bracket by a CFRP overlay
Stiffening of a boat propeller shaft bearing support bracket by a CFRP overlay
Vibration problems have occurred in the propeller shafts of ten meter boats operated by the Royal Australian Navy. Each shaft runs in a bearing which is attached to the hull by an aluminium bronze bracket and there was a requirement to increase the stiffness of this bracket. An efficient, cheap and quick method was sought for a first unit and here a description is given of how this was achieved by the construction of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) overlay for the existing bracket.
