This study examines the influence of some dimensional errors on the shudder-type disturbance of the tripod joint and vehicle, using an experimental evaluation and related simulation. With the introduction of the concept of influence factor, the sensitivities of shudder-type disturbance can be evaluated as the ratio of the difference between the ideal value without dimensional errors and actual value with them in the tripod joint and vehicle. Futhermore, influence factors calculated in this study can be utilized as a basic design data for the practical application of the tripod joint to an automobile design.

Transverse vibrations of a ship's aft end and deckhouse are mainly induced by transverse exciting forces from the main engine. Resonance should be avoided in the initial design stages when there is a prediction of resonance between the main engine and transverse modes of the deckhouse. Estimates of frequencies for resonance avoidance are possible from the specifications of the main engine and propeller, but the inherent vibration frequency of the structure around the engine room is not easy to estimate due to the variation in the shape. Experience-oriented vibration design is also carried out, which results in many problems, such as process delay, over-injection of on-site personnel, and iterative performance of the design. For the flexible design of 8,600 TEU container vessels, this study addressed the resonance problem caused by the transverse vibration of the main engine when only the main engine was changed from 12 cylinders to 10 cylinders without modification of the hull structure layout. Efficient structural reinforcement design guidelines are presented for avoiding resonances with the main engine lateral vibration and the structure around the engine room. The guidelines are expected to be used as practical design guidelines at design sites.
