STG Symposium "Selected Topics on Strength, Vibrations and Noise"

Currently we see an ever-increasing importance of climate and environmental protection. Political interest exists on the protection of the oceans from shipping borne noise. This is reflected in current activities of the International Maritime Organization, e.g., with a workshop on this topic in September 2023. Another keyword is the European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The trend toward digitalization is continuing. The product portfolio of European shipyards continues to expand its focus on special ships, in particular high-end yachts, cruise ships and naval vessels. These place the highest demands on comfort in the area of tension with high safety requirements. For the areas of strength, vibrations and noise, this results in new challenges that need to be mastered. All those involved in shipbuilding, shipping, the supply industry and classification societies are called upon to play their part. The STG's "Selected Topics on Strength, Vibration and Noise" symposium will provide information on relevant current developments with a view to new challenges. It offers the opportunity for discussion with experts and representatives from teaching, research, industry and classification societies.

Ship types covered include modern yachts, cruise ships and naval vessels and also challenges from offshore applications.

The symposium language is English.

The symposium is aimed at all those working in industry, research, education, classification societies, authorities and other players in the maritime sector, as well as all students interested in the topics of strength, vibration and noise.

The summaries of the presentations will follow shortly.
