Learning Outcomes

Knowledge:

Acceptance criteria for vibrations on ships; methods for the calculation of natural frequencies and forced vibrations of sructural components and the entire hull girder; effect of exciting forces of the propeller and main engine and methods for their determination.

Skills:

Acquaintance with methods for the calculation of natural frequencies and exciting forces and resulting vibrations of ship structures including their assessment; modelling of structures for the vibration analysis.

Competencies:

Ability to detect vibration-prone components on ships, to model the structure, to select suitable calculation methods and to assess the results.
