Overview

Objectives

The PAN project aimed to increase comfort on board cruise ships, reducing the vibrations that are produced on board. These vibrations propagate up to the accommodation decks through the hundreds of supporting props present in the structure of the ship itself. 

The challenging objective of the project was to achieve the industrialization of the system, identifying a configuration that can meet the cruise ship requirements, with maximum efficiency from the point of view of damping in the broadest spectrum of vibroacoustic frequencies.

Results

PAN provided a solution through the study of a vibroacoustic cutting system to insert at the base of the prop, which then becomes an anti-vibration prop, capable to cut the vibratory flow by both insulation and damping.
