Abstract

Torque and speed measurement has always been a great challenge for many industries such as aviation, shipbuilding and automotive industry. These forces are of substantial importance for the research of the deformation processes developing in the modern marine diesel engines. The values of these forces provide the input data for calculating the overall strength of ship power plants. Continuous monitoring of these parameters while the ship is in service ensures safe operation of all machinery, reduces the risk of unplanned repair works and improves the engine performance in view of low fuel consumption and reduction of CO2 and NOx emissions.
