Noise and Vibration Control on Ships

Beschreibung

This book provides a guide for the marine community to understand and address the noise and vibration environment associated with ships. Controlling noise and vibration in an effective and optimal manner requires a comprehensive understanding of all the ship systems that are involved in achieving a quiet vessel. While there are numerous published articles addressing various components of shipboard noise and vibration, this represents the first comprehensive book on the subject. Beginning from the basic acoustics of noise and vibration, it builds to more complex considerations in undersea sound, ship design, and compliance. The book provides an understanding of the ‘source-path-receiver’ modelling of shipboard noise and vibration. It delivers an overview of how to select and optimize both noise and vibration control treatments along with design guidance and methods to demonstrate compliance with acoustic regulations. It reflects the knowledge gained by the authors consulting over 40 years each on hundreds of vessels, and represents an invaluable resource for ship builders and marine engineers.

“The book by Raymond Fischer and Leonid Boroditsky fills a significant gap … All aspects of acoustics in shipbuilding are addressed. The sound sources are predominantly described using empirical formulas that consider the essential properties of the source … Sound mitigation, along with an assessment of the effectiveness of various measures, is presented in detail. Also important is the handling of questions related to acoustics and vibrations in the ship design process. A comprehensive chapter is dedicated to this topic, as well as a chapter on quality assurance and testing procedures. A considerable number of ship types with varying requirements and sound sources are documented in this work … the great strength of this reference work lies in the multitude of diagrams, which provide important guidance regarding the magnitudes of sound levels and the effects of countermeasures. It is hoped that this book achieves wide distribution in the global shipbuilding industry.” (Dietrich Wittekind, Naval Architect, JASCO Applied Sciences (Europe) GmbH)

“This well-organized book serves as a master reference in noise control techniques from small boats and yachts to ferries to tankers … The techniques and processes outlined are presented in well written chapters. Raymond Fischer and Leonid Boroditsky have succeeded in providing a practical design guide for shipboard noise and vibration … The depth and breadth of their knowledge allow them to combine such a large pool of knowledge in a single book with a clear structure, from fundamental acoustics to concepts of ship design development and practical applications. The jewels of this book are the numerous successful design treatments from some 400 hundred projects and more importantly the options in acoustic treatments.  The authors succeeded in providing a pragmatic view of a vast number of noise sources encountered in ship design and construction.  This book collected topics which represent the state-of-the-art works in the most important areas of the field.” (Kurt Yankaskas, CEO, BioInnovations Institute)
