Study of the Hull Structural Deformation Calculation Using the Matrix Displacement Method and Its Influence on the Shaft Alignment

The analysis of the influence of hull deformation on shaft alignment is predominately conducted using the finite element method (FEM), which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and challenging to use for iterative hull design optimization. In this paper, hull deformation is separated into two parts—...
