The dynamic characteristics of ship structures are becoming more important as the flexibility of modern ships increases, for example, to predict reliable design life. This requires an accurate dynamic model of the structure, which, because of complex vibration environment and complex boundary conditions, can only be validated by measurements. In the present paper the use of operational modal analysis (OMA) for dynamic characterization of a ship structure based on experimental data, from a full-scale measurement of a 210-m long Ro-Lo ship during sea trial, is presented. The measurements contain three different data sets obtained under different operating conditions of the ship: 10 knots cruising speed, 18 knots cruising speed, and at anchor. Natural frequencies, modal damping ratios, and mode shapes have been successfully estimated for the first 10 global modes. Damping ratios for the current ship were found within the range 0.9%–1.9% and natural frequencies were found to range from 0.8 to 4.1 Hz for the first 10 global modes of the ship at design speed (18 knots). The three different operating conditions showed, in addition, a speed dependency of the natural frequencies and damping ratios. The natural frequencies were found to be lower for the 18-knots condition compared with the two other conditions, most significantly for the vertical bending modes. Also, for the vertical bending modes, the damping ratios increased by 28%–288% when the speed increased from 10 to 18 knots. Other modes were not found to have the same strong speed dependency.

Analysis And Design

Given a series of intrinsic features of structural glass systems (i.e., material properties, type of restraints, operational conditions, etc.), special care should be spent at the design stage, to ensure appropriate fail-safe requirements, but also in the service life of these innovative building components and assemblies. In this paper, the dynamic characterization of simple monolithic glass elements is presented, based on non-destructive laboratory experiments and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) techniques, including Finite Element (FE) numerical simulations, classical analytical models, and video-tracking approaches. It is shown, in particular, how the actual restraint condition (i.e., flexibility of supports, with respect to ideal boundaries) can affect the vibration parameters of a given glass member (frequency and damping capacity). This turns out in possible variations of its overall structural performance, including stress-strain-related effects, hence suggesting the need for even further dedicated studies and methods for the reliable analysis and design of structural glass assemblies and complex systems under dynamic loads.

Theoretical Assumptions

Modal models are commonly encountered forms of dynamic characterization of mechanical structures. They are applied in machine-condition diagnosing as well as in monitoring processes. In research practice the most frequently applied method is Experimental Modal Analysis, and in exploitation - Operational Modal Analysis. Difficulties associated with the EMA and OMA have contributed to the increase of OMAX model applications, especially in case of energetic machines. Theoretical assumptions related with modal analysis are very strong. In reality when big and heavy structures are considered often those assumptions are not fulfilled. In the paper such situations are considered and practical solutions are showed.

The dynamic characterization of vehicle structures is a crucial step in NVH analysis and helps in refining the vibration and noise in new vehicles. This paper investigates the dynamic properties of two parts of the vehicle structure which are door and hood panels. Theoretical modal analysis which is referred to as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) or modal testing has been used as investigative tools. The paper investigates the structural dynamic properties of door and hood panels of a local car. ME'scope software was used to analyze the data obtained from Pulse to extract the dynamic properties of the panels. LS-DYNA software was used to analyze the dynamic behavior of the structure. The comparison between the results obtained from both analyses showed some similarity in frequencies and mode shapes. Finally the paper concludes that experimental modal analysis and finite element analysis can both be used to extract dynamic properties of structures.
