Energy flow methods for the study of vibration transmission from medium speed diesel engines to the ship hull

Ship-board vibration is one of the most important concerns in the design of a new vessel. The aim of this work is to investigate the vibration transmission which occurs below the resilient mounts of a medium speed diesel engine. In this regard, the power flow analysis represents the most valuable approach. Results have shown that the most prominent vibration transmission occurs in the resilient mounts installed below the central part of the engine
