Noise and vibration on ships.

• be able to do basic noise calculations

• be able to write precise and clear noise specification for vessels

• be better equipped to assess and manage noise & vibration generation, propagation and control in vessel designs

• Fundamental noise

• Fundamental vibration

• Building specifications for noise & vibration – what should be considered in a new build specification

• Low-noise design

• Noise & vibration sources

• Global and local vibration prediction and measurements

• Problems – demonstrations

• Exercises – demonstrations

Topics will be illustrated with numerous case studies including: singing propeller, propeller vibration problems, noise control in engine rooms, accommodation sound insulation and others.

Ship designers, ship operators, ship builders, naval architects and service engineers within the marine industry or people who have a general interest in quality marine designs with respect to noise & vibration.

A general understanding of fundamental physics will be beneficial but is not a prerequisite.
