This is a live 1 hour session with plenty of time for questions and discussion.

At this Member Focus Session Dr Maryam Bonyadi will be introducing Lloyd’s Register (LR) and an overview of the services they provide. This session will specifically include information on LR’s Technical and Failure Investigation Department, its team, locations, and some of their capabilities with two failure investigation case studies discussed.

If you have any specific questions, you would like Maryam to address in the session, please let us know.

Lloyd's Register is a global organisation and leading provider of classification, compliance and advisory services to the marine and offshore industries with the aim to enhance the safety of life, property, and the environment by helping our clients to improve the safety and performance of their assets.

The Technical and Failure Investigation Department sits within the Professional Services division which is the advisory arm of Lloyd’s Register. Our Technical and Failure Investigation Department provides engineering advisory services such as failure investigations and condition assessments as well as engineering analytical investigations. Some examples of failure investigation services that we provide are associated with ship machinery failures such as failure of propulsion shafts, bearings, gears, rudders, propellers, engines and many more. We also carry out propulsion shaft alignment analysis, fatigue analysis, noise and vibration modelling, prediction, measurement and assessment.

1st International Conference on Tribology and Sustainable Lubrication nextlub on April 18 - 19, 2023

Increasing sustainability, ecological and geopolitical demands create new challenges for tribologists and lubrication experts.

Essential Gear Training: Gear Stress Analysis in Newcastle from 21-22 April 2020

This seminar will give you the opportunity to understand and explore the stress analysis procedures published in ISO 6336:2006 and discuss ideas and implications with other members of the industry. Futher, you will get introduced to strategies for maximizing gear performance, increasing power density and minimizing manufacturing costs and risk.

Essential Gear Training: Gear Wear and Failure Recognition on 3 March 2020 at Newcastle University

The seminar gives delegates an insight into the appearance and underlying causes of gear failure modes. No prior gear knowledge is required. It provides gear manufacturers and users with the necessary skills to examine, assess and recognise common gear failure modes. The seminar content is applicable to gear designers, gear service personnel, operators and users of valuable equipment, inspection and certification bodies who need to confidently examine gears and gearboxes and those new to the gear industry.

BGA Gear Training: An introduction to Gear Design & Geometry on 26 February 2020 at Newcastle University

Gear geometry is thought to be complex and often considered a ‘black art’. This seminar will dispel this myth and provide delegates with a basic knowledge of spur and helical gear geometry and how gears work. No prior gear knowledge is required.

The Seminar will cover:
•   How involute gears work
•   An introduction to the involute gear geometry standard ISO 21771, BGA Code of Practice 07 and gear terms and symbols
•   The basic rack, cutting tools and basic gear sums relating to spur and helical gears o Gear pairs, centre distance, working pressure angles, tooth thickness and backlash
•   Non-standard geometry, contact ratios and start of active profile calculations
•   Plenty of examples to work through – please make sure you bring a basic scientific calculator!

Key skills and knowledge:
At the end of the seminar you will understand how gears work, be competent with basic calculations relating to gear geometry, understand the basic terms and symbols and have a greater understanding of what is happening when you use gear software packages. Design, manufacture and inspection processes make more sense when you understand gear geometry.

CPD
This course is officially recognised as complying with universally accepted principles of Continual Professional Development (CPD) and have been structured to meet the criteria of personal development plans.
