Possibilities to determine design loads for thrusters and drivetrain components using the flexible multibody-system method

ABSTRACT

In comparison to the typical driving concepts using a long shaft, changed design loads have to be considered due to the combined function of driving and steering as well as the paired arrangement on both sides of the ship (Fig. 1).
