Abstract
In this paper, free vibration of the ship with Timoshenko beam model is investigated and natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained. Since the frequency equations of Timoshenko beam are nonlinear, for obtaining the frequencies and mode shapes, numerical method, differential quadrature method with discretization is used. Frequencies of some vessels with different geometers such as length, height and width are obtained and versus length, height and width are compared and effect of these parameters on the frequencies are investigated. These investigations show that by increasing these parameters the frequencies are decreased and for the vessels that have a large ratio of height to length, the Timoshenko beam model should be used for vibration investigation that the shear effect is considered.
