DNV GL ADDITIONAL RULES AND GUIDELINES VI-4-2 PDF

These Rules for the scantlings of crankshafts are to be applied to diesel engines for main propulsion and auxiliary purposes, where the engines are so designed as to be capable of continuous operation at their rated power when running at rated speed.

Crankshafts which cannot satisfy these Rules will be subject to special consideration as far as detailed calculations or measurements can be submitted.

In case of:

– surface treated fillets

– tested parameters influencing the fatigue behaviour

– measured working stresses these data can be considered on special request.
