This book has been written to account for improvements in the regulatory regime for shipboard health, safety and welfare.
These guidelines also assist with the finite element analysis (FEA) based vibration analysis procedure to calculate the vibration response and evaluate the design at detail design stage.
This book describes a slamming strength assessment procedure for vessels. Typically, there are three types of slamming loads on commercial vessels: bottom slamming, bow flare slamming, and stern slamming depending upon the hull geometry at the bow and stern.
Regarding the shaft alignment design and implementation efforts by the shipbuilding industry, this book is designed to further advance the technical approach towards shaft alignment analyses and procedures.
The concerns related to levels and characteristics of noise and vibration are covered in this and the other titles in the series related to ship vibration and noise control.
