With development of conventional VLOG, VLCC and 10000 TEU Container ship, the distance between shaft bearings increases and thus leads to the decrease of shaft stiffness, which has a negative effect on shaft stress. Increased propeller excitation force, induced by improved thrust power, also lea...
