Application of the Force Transferring Technique for Marine Machineries

It is necessary and valuable to build the transferring relationship between test bed datum and ship datum for satisfying the boundary requirements of exciting forces in ship's vibration-acoustic analysis. Principle of the force transferring technique for machineries with multiple supporting points is introduced first, and then the measurement method for free velocities of machineries is given. A method for transferring test bed datum to ship datum of machinery force characteristics is discussed and applied to deal with a practical problem, in which the numerical simulation is used for predicting admittance of ship mounting seat absenting reality. Experimental results show that the proposed method is valid.
