 Background
• An unwanted side effect of building faster and lighter ships is the
increasing noise and vibration in ships

• The low frequency noise and vibrations also contribute most to

discomfort onboard ships

 Objectives
• Understanding the characteristics of vibration and vibration
propagation in complex ship structures

• Provide explicit strategies for the control of vibration and vibration

propagation of complex ship structures

 Methodology

Ship Model (30 m crew vessel)

The main stiffness components

of the ship hull include keel, engine beds, deck and bottom
girders, pillars and ring frames

 Only the engine room section of the 30 m crew vessel is considered in the subsequent
analysis

 Vibration response of the engine room

The engine room section of the ship structure is bound by two

watertight bulkheads – Frames 16
and 23

 engine excitations on ship hull structures are intwo forms:
(a) vibrations transmitted to the foundation by the engine as a whole through
engineisolators (a point force excitation)
(b) torsional oscillations in the crankshaft and in the shafting ofthe driven
machinery (a moment excitation)

 Conclusion
• The inclusion of ship hull and deck plates in the ship structure model
has little effect on the frequency-averaged response of the ship
structure
• Vibration propagation in complex ship structures atlow frequencies
can be attenuated by imposing irregularities to thering frame
locations in ships
• Vibration responses of ship structures due to machinery excitations at
higher frequencies can be controlled by structural modifications of
the local supporting structures such as engine beds in ships

 The Weakness
• The paper doesn’t inform clearly the step of analyze by FEA software
• The equation of this paper doesn’t mention the definition of all
variable
