Science - Physics / Expert opinion on a ship collision based on rudder failure involving a hydraulic valve opening which it shouldn't have
German term or phrase: hohe Wege
Bei stark gedämpften elastischen Systemen führt der Resonanzfall zu keiner deutlichen Überhöhung der Amplituden, so dass diese sich an denen der schiffbaulichen Strukturen orientieren (hier Heckbereich des Schiffes).
Das in Frage kommende Erregerfrequenzband der Schiffsvibrationen liegt mit ca. 1-10 Hz absolut gesehen sehr niedrig.
Hohe Beschleunigungen bedingen daher auch ***hohe Wege***.
(Dagegen ergibt bei 200 Hz eine Beschleunigung von 10 g lediglich einen Weg von 0.06 mm)

In the case of intensely attenuated [or damped] elastic systems, the case of resonance does not lead to any clear excess elevation of the amplitudes, so that the latter are orientated towards those of the shipbuilding structures (in this case, the stern section of the vessel).
The excitation frequency band of the vessel vibrations coming into consideration is, at approx. 1-10 Hz, very low, viewed from an absolute perspective.
High levels of acceleration therefore also result in ***long distances ???***.
(On the other hand, at 200 Hz an acceleration of 10 g only leads to a ??? of 0.06 mm)

English translation:large deflection
Explanation:
"Weg" ist hier ein etwas ungewöhnlich erscheinender Begriff, "Auslenkung" (insbesondere am Bug, Heck und in der Schiffsmitte im Fall der 2-Knoten-Schwingung) erscheint mir angemessener. Die Schwingungsbewegungen sind transversal (quer) zur Länge des Schiffes.
