    Is there an software available to aid the design of a suitable propellor shaft system.

    Say you had a yacht, with a fairly long and slender conventional shaft. For a certain lenght and support conditions, how thick/thin would it need to be to prevent failure under load, vibration, shaft whirl etc?

    I only ask becuase i am doing a PartC major project on the topic as part of my coarse at university. (Im studying mechical engineering at loughborough).

    Daniel,

    Take a look at the Western Branch Metals website, they manufacture Aquamet shafting. Click on the link "Shafting Data Brochure", page 8 and 9 has the information you are looking for.
