Generating sets comply with vibration levels according to ISO 8528-9. Main engines comply
with vibration levels according to ISO 10816-6 Class 5.
16.1
External forces & couples
Some cylinder configurations produce external forces and couples. These are listed in the
tables below.
The ship designer should avoid natural frequencies of decks, bulkheads and superstructures
close to the excitation frequencies. The double bottom should be stiff enough to avoid
resonances especially with the rolling frequencies.
