Modeling and simulating axial vibrations on the crarkshaft of the large two-stroke marine diesel engine

The axial vibration is the strong vibrated phenomenon occurring on the main propulsion using a large two-stroke marine diesel engine. This article researches to build a mathematical model of the axial stiffness coefficient and force generated by the geometric configuration of the crank pin-crank web assemblies and the combustion gas force. The numerical simulation is performed by finite element method, using ANSYS software, applied to the main engine MAN B&W 6G70ME.
