Experimental investigation into vibration control of stern structure excited by propeller forces

  •   Objectives  To reduce the vibration of stern structure excited by lateral propeller forces, the application of vibration isolation, vibration blocking masses and damping coating is carried out.
      Methods  First, the vibration transmission characteristics of the shaft-stern coupled system are obtained through vibration testing, then the lateral excitation mainly transmits to the stern structure through the rear stern bearing is suppressed using three control methods based on the test results. Finally the validity of the respective proposed methods is verified.
      Results  The test results show that vibration isolation has limited effectiveness in reducing vibration in the low to medium frequency range due to the limited range of stiffness variation; vibration blocking masses are more effective in isolating vibration transmission to the stern structure; and damping coating has significant effect on the attenuation of vibration in the high frequency range. The acceleration level of the stern structure is reduced by at least 6 dB under the comprehensive application of the three control methods.
      Conclusions  The results obtained in this study have reference value for the vibration control of the stern structures excited by propeller forces.
