Abstract

Vibration at the stern area is generally the most severe of the entire ship hull, which has always attracted special attention by ship designers and researchers. With reference to a real ship structural layout, a scaled stern model of steel structure was innovatively designed to carry out the mode and response tests. Corresponding finite element (FE) model representing the tested structure was established for verification of commonly-used calculation methods of modal parameters and response. Good agreement between experimental and numerical results demonstrates the credibility of FE method, and some key points of modeling and calculating are discussed. In addition, with the combination of the experiment and calculation, some vibration characteristics of ship stern structure are summarized for future ship design guideline.
