Abstract

The propeller shaft system is the key system for power transmission on board. The components of the system are complex, the working environment is bad, the failure modes are numerous, and the failure consequences are serious. FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis) is difficult to accurately and quantitatively carry out criticality assessment. Therefore, in view of the complex navigation environment, the fuzzy FMECA method is used to evaluate the failure mode criticality of propeller shaft system. On the basis of FMECA, the factor set with maintainability and testability is established, and the factor level set, fuzzy evaluation matrix and factor weight set are determined, and the consistency judgment is made. Finally, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is carried out to obtain the accurate and quantifiable failure mode criticality ranking. Compared with the traditional FMECA method, fuzzy FMECA can consider the limited maintenance conditions and test conditions on board, accurately quantify the criticality degree, and take into account more expert opinions, so as to improve the authenticity, accuracy and repeatability of criticality assessment. Therefore, the fuzzy FMECA method can better evaluate the criticality degree of propeller shaft system, and the results can effectively guide the improvement of propeller shaft design and maintenance work.
