Abstract

This study aims to analyze mechanical vibrations in ship hulls using advanced numerical simulation tools, including Abaqus for finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for flow modeling. A Multiphysics model was developed to represent the interaction between the hull structure and surrounding fluid, with a focus on enhancing environmental performance and minimizing harmful vibrational effects. The results indicate that the geometric distribution of the hull plays a critical role in dynamic response, providing a foundation for more efficient and sustainable design strategies in marine applications.
