Vibration of Ship Structures and Its Control

The book "Vibration of Ship Structures and Its Control" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges associated with ship design, particularly concerning noise and vibration issues. Given the increasing demands for faster and lighter ships, which are often constructed with rib-stiffened plates, the need for effective control of vibrations and noise is becoming more urgent. The complexity of ship structures, the variety of wave types, and the different propagation paths make it difficult to successfully apply both active and passive control methods. This technical book aims to explain the mechanisms of wave propagation and damping in these complex structures and provides valuable insights into the control of structural vibrations. It brings together various specialized research topics, making it a valuable resource for shipbuilders and vibroacoustic engineers.
