JNE 316 - Advance Marine Engineering Assignment, March 2020

This document presents a comprehensive solution to an Advance Marine Engineering assignment (JNE 316) from the Australian Maritime College. The assignment covers six key questions, beginning with an investigation of cracking in a bed plate transverse girder, including causes and inspection methods. Subsequent questions address the deterioration of in-service components, valve burn-out indications and prevention, crankshaft deflection procedures and actions to be taken based on readings, piston/liner inspection, and finally, the chain drive mechanism and vibration excitation sources in propulsion engines. The solution provides detailed explanations, procedures, and preventive measures, supported by relevant diagrams and references, making it a valuable resource for students studying marine engineering.
