The unique aspect of this design is that the rotor lacks individual bearings and is directly mounted on the shaft connecting the diesel engine to the main propeller. Leveraging advanced numerical tools, we identified weak points prone to cracking and proposed a redesigned solution to reinforce these areas.

This project marks the latest in a series of successful collaborations with a renowned global company from South Korea, a partnership that began in 2020. As part of this task, we analyzed and developed monitoring solutions for crack detection and propagation, allowing for real-time monitoring of critical areas during machine operation and enabling shutdown in the event of fracture risk.

The project also featured an extended visit from the customer, during which they expressed their satisfaction with our previous R&D projects. Talks are already underway to explore the potential expansion of our joint business ventures.
