T&R Bulletin 2-29A: Measurement and Evaluation of Structural and Machinery Vibration in Ships (2004)

T&R Bulletin 2-29A together with the underlying ANSI documents supersedes the existing SNAME T&R Bulletins 2-25 and 2-29 and SNAME Codes C1, C4, and C5.

 

This Bulletin supplements ANSl documents S2.19, S2.25, S2.26,S2.27, S2.28 and S2.29 pertaining to ship vibration. The ANSl documents contain guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of structural and machinery vibration on ships. They also specify data acquisition and processing procedures which will result in consistent and reliable data to compare with the guidelines. However, the ANSl documents do not provide a lot of detail about how to make the vibration measurements or do the analytical calculations that are required.
