Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The vibration and noise level of a ship directly affect the working and living environment of the staff on board, and reduce the service life of marine equipment and precision instruments. Ship structural dynamics is one of the main factors to be considered when designing a ship. In recent years, new types of ships have been constantly produced, and ship structure dynamics have presented new characteristics, requirements, and problems. Meanwhile, many new methods and techniques have been proposed to study the basic theory of ship structure vibration, the steady-state response of ship structure under periodic load, the transient response under short-term impact load, and the principles of ship structure vibration prevention and vibration reduction. This Special Issue aims to report state-of-the-art developments in the field of ship design and structure dynamics. Original research and review articles related to the topic are welcome.

Thin-walled metal plates and cabin structures are widely found in ships and cargos which are susceptible to attacks or accidental explosions. The present work focuses on the dynamic response mechanism of steel plates under unconfined and confined blast loads. In the experiment, digital image correlation (DIC) technique was applied to record and analyze the dynamic response process of a large-scale field blast test. The DIC measured curve and the numerically calculated curves agree well in both trends and peak values. Then, the dynamic response mechanisms of steel plates under an unconfined blast (UB) load and confined blast (CB) load were compared and discussed. The results show that the dynamic response of plates can be divided into three phases under both UB and CB loads, with different mechanisms. In phase I, plastic hinges start from the center and move to the boundary in the UB condition, while in the case of CB, plastic hinges occur close to the boundary and move in the opposite direction. In phase II, two plastic hinge lines propagate towards each other, a platform exists between the boundary, and the central area remains undeformed in the UB condition, while in the CB condition, larger deformation occurs in the peripheral region rather than the central area.

The acoustic absorption characteristics of anechoic coatings attached to the surface of underwater vehicles are closely related to their acoustic stealth. Owing to the essential property of local resonance, the narrow sound-absorption band cannot meet the underwater broadband sound absorption requirements. To this end, a multi-mechanism synergistic composite acoustic structure (MMSC−AS) was designed according to the integration of multiple acoustic dissipation mechanisms in this paper. Then, the acoustical calculation model for MMSC−AS was developed by using the graded finite element method (G-FEM), and the feasibility and the correctness of the established acoustical calculation model were verified. The underwater sound absorption behaviors of MMSC−AS were studied, and the optimization of the sound absorption characteristics of the MMSC−AS was also carried out. The results indicated that the calculation accuracy of the G-FEM was better than that of the FEM under the condition of the same mesh elements. Moreover, there were many sound wave regulation mechanisms in the MMSC−AS, and the synergy between the mechanisms enriched the mode of sound acoustic energy dissipation, which could widen the absorption band with effect. This study provides theoretical and technical basis for breaking through the challenge of low-frequency and broadband acoustic structure design of underwater vehicles. Full article

The magnetic suspension damper, which is based on magnetic suspension technology, is receiving more and more attention from academics as active–passive hybrid damping technology develops. A new symmetric magnetic suspension structure is constructed in this study, and the accuracy of the simulation findings is confirmed by contrasting the output from finite element simulation with the theoretical formulations. On the basis of this, how the structure, size, and material of the electromagnet and armature affect the magnetic flux density, electromagnetic force, and suspension force is investigated. The structure optimization of the electromagnet and armature was performed in accordance with the simulation results, and a new symmetric magnetic suspension structure was produced. The results of the simulation demonstrate that DT4(electrical pure iron) is the ideal material for armatures and electromagnets. The reinforcing ring construction can be built up by the armature to increase suspension force. The suspension force output by the armature will be greatly increased when the size and placement of the reinforcing ring structure are right. The system stiffness adjustment range will expand at this point, enhancing the magnetic suspension damper’s functionality. This study offers novel perspectives for designing structures that reduce vibration and noise in various projects and serves as a guide to constructing magnetic suspension dampers. Full article
