Whirling vibration in severe cases may result in shaft cracking and typically gap sensors are utilized to confirm its values under the outside underwater of ship. The bending stress value causing whirling vibration on the propulsion shafting system of a 40-ton small vessel was verified by theoretical analysis and its vibration measurement. However, because of underwater condition, the accuracy for this measurement method is presumed low. In this study, the strain gauge basic principle and the bending stress calculation method are considered. The relationships are then applied for obtaining the whirling vibration of the 40-ton small vessel. As a result, a new method in estimation of whirling vibration is reached and suggested.
