Measurement of Stress on Propeller Shaft of Fishing Boat

Abstract

The improvement of operation management in the propulsion power system of fishing boats is one of the important problems for energy saving. Actual operation management to be effective requires at least the measurement of torque and thrust
Experiments on the foundation and application were conducted to evaluate the measuring system using the strain gauges, and practicality of the measurement was examined. The result showed that this method in the measurement of stress can also be widely applied to all kinds of shaft in fishery machines
