  2. Noise and vibration on maritime vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_and_vibration_on...

    The generated vibrations are also compared with the natural frequencies of the different parts/sections and adaptions can be done to the structure. On board, noise travels through the structure (mainly low frequencies), more than through the air, so insulating the engine room is not enough as a way to avoid the noise travelling through the boat ...

  3. Oyster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster

    The dredge is towed through an oyster bed by a boat, picking up the oysters in its path. While dredges collect oysters more quickly, they heavily damage the beds, and their use is highly restricted. Until 1965, Maryland limited dredging to sailboats , and even since then motor boats can be used only on certain days of the week.

  4. Springing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springing

    Springing induced vibrations can already be present in low or moderate sea states when resonant conditions occur between wave lengths present in the wave spectrum and the hull girder natural modes, while whipping typically requires rough sea states before the very local occurring slamming impact has sufficient energy to excite the global ...

    The boat is then righted, bailed out, and the sails reset, so that in the event of an uncontrolled capsize, the boat and its occupants are familiar with the procedure and may recover. Most small monohull sailboats can normally be righted by standing or pulling down on the centreboard , daggerboard (or bilgeboard in a scow ) to lift the mast ...

    Stage three, the rest phase, cause the fish to return to normal steady-state swimming and the body undulations begin to cease. Large muscles located closer to the central portion of the fish are stronger and generate more force than the muscles in the tail. This asymmetry in muscle composition causes body undulations that occur in Stage 3.

    To do so, they gathered up the debris underneath their bodies using their arms. They then used their siphon, a tube-like part of their body, to expel water aimed at the debris. This sent ...
