Ship Propulsion Shafting Bearing Reaction Programs MGE2 and MGE5 for IBM 7090 (with notes on Univac LARC).

Abstract

MGE2 is a FORTRAN IV program which computes characteristics of the main propulsion shaft of a ship, assuming that all bearing centers are on a straight line. Output from this program consists of the straight-line bearing reactions and the influence numbers for each support point. These influence numbers indicate the changes in supporting reactions produced by the raising or lowering of a particular bearing. The program also calculates the shear, bending moment, slope, and deflection values, and the weight and stiffness factors for stations designated along the shaft. MGE5 is a program similar to MGE2. It is a design tool for determining the effects of bearing centers at any given elevation relative to the straight line. MGE5 is often used after MGE2 to determine the reactions of realigned bearings. Output from MGE5 includes bearing reactions at each support point and shear, bending moment, and slope and deflections values at designated stations. (Author)
