In recent years, it has become standard practice to regulate vibration aspects for a new building on a contractual basis. Limit values that must not be exceeded during operation of the ship are defined as being part of the specification. A new common practice is usage of Vibration analysis as Condition monitoring tools to predict the possible failure as well as Fault diagnosis tool. A regular measurement of the crucial equipment is very professional approach to avoid sudden breakdown or catastrophic failure.
The design and construction of a ship free of excessive vibration continues to be a major concern and, as such, it is prudent to investigate, through analysis, the likelihood of vibration problems early in the design stage. Vibration analysis is aimed at the confirmation of the many design considerations associated with:
