Control of noise and vibration onboard ships is a topic of increasing importance to the international shipbuilding industry.The "Onboard noise and vibration" training is the only training in the world that gives participants high quality insight into the ins en outs of noise and vibration onboard ships.
Noise and vibration have a major impact on ships, ship systems and the environment. The need for more expertise to reduce or avoid altogether the effects of noise and vibration is a growing international trend. Priorities are the fast development and implementation of electronics in ship’s equipment, the need for more comfort onboard (especially on cruise vessels and superyachts), increasing environmental awareness and structural damage to ships.
The training covers four main subjects:
- Shipboard noise control
- Shipboard vibration
- Basic principles of dynamics, vibration and shock
- Hydrodynamic excitation forces
The training is organised by Netherlands Maritime Technology. It takes place 17 and 18 June at TNO in Delft and is of particular interest to engineers, naval architects, R&D managers en instructors/teachers.
