Control of noise and vibration onboard ships is of increasing importance to the international shipbuilding industry. Netherlands Maritime Technology offers a course on this hot topic in June.
Noise and vibration have a major impact on ships, ship systems and the environment. During the course on 17 and 18 June in Delft, the Netherlands, participants can learn more about the principles of noise and vibration and how to attenuate their effects.
Reducing or Avoiding Noise and Vibration
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; and
- hydrodynamic excitation forces.
