Abstract
Abstract
Ships’ (especially containers) vibrations significantly impact navigation safety. The presented analyses aims to identify the main forces exciting the ship’s superstructure and hull vibrations, test their influence on vibration levels, and verify the assumptions of the computational methodology. Two container ships were analysed. The influence of different modeling methods on the obtained calculation results was investigated. The impact of various operating parameters on the vibration level was also analysed. The numerical analyses results are compared with some empirical formulas. As a result, the calculation confidence level was estimated. The calculation results have been verified by comparison with measurement tests carried out on the real ship.
