Abstract
Shipboard vibration continues to present serious problems to both the shipbuilder and operator. The principal reasons for this deficiency is the lack of a design procedure, useful in the early phases of design, and the absence of a suitable criterion for hull vibration. This paper describes a detailed study carried out for the U.S. Coast Guard for a "new design polar icebreaker" and a procedure for further simplification of this approach presently under development at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center (NSRDC). Procedures for the measurement and evaluation of shipboard vibration are briefly discussed together with possible approaches to the development of suitable shipboard vibration criteria.
