Hi Giuseppe,

A.:

you can get any technical book that is published from the library of "Technische Universitaet Hannover" in Germany. They are obliged to collect all technical information that can be bought. Search for TUB Hannover.

As flights from Italy to Germany are no longer expensive you may go personally and copy what you need.

(I paid for a flight Frankfurt-Pescara both ways 80€).

There is also a network of exchange between libraries, ask at your local University.

B.: Think about general necessities of alignment and consequences of misalignment,

this is a much wider field than you may expect. But the principle is always the same: misalignment is resulting in high load and wear.

Dear Giuseppe,

One of the things you must bear in mind is that whilst it is very important for you to acquire the : theorethical knowledge at the Universtity where you are studying, and of course prepare your thesis, you need to balance such information with was is crucial when the time will come later at a commercial/practical level. My suggestion is that this can help you not only in your thesis but later in practical life.

To achieve this one of the best way you can absorb what will be the :rules , specifications etc that will be expected from you in practical terms is to : approach the Certification Society in Europe and study their requirements. I refer here to :

-Bureau Veritas,

-Lloyds of London

-Germanische Lloyd

(There is an Italian One whose name now escapes me but a call to the larger Italian Shipyards can assist you.)

You need to know that all Asian shipyards ( and I have worked in : Japan,Korea,China) who work for Foreign Owners - or repair the latter' s ships- are used to complying to these standards. Therefore from a practical stand point you need to be familar with these , and this in turn may help you with your thesis, whilst being , I undestand , readily available via the : internet.

Best of Luck,

Labor Omnia Vincit

NB The vast majority of work in : shipyards (besides cleaning the large vessels hulls ) is to : withdraw the propeller(s) and shafts , refit stern and other bearing and re-line shafts. This is where the controlling organisations named above and their respective : standards , criteria , specifications , play a very important role.
