Abstract
Analysis of the nature frequency of flexural vibration is vital to be able to provide effective shock absorption for a ship’s tail shaft. The paper built mathematic model of ship’s tail shaft flexural vibration by transfer matrix method, and put forward an effective method for calculating the natural frequency of vibration system: a genetic algorithm (GA). Through example calculation compared with Prohl method under conditions bearing isotropic supporting, the result showed that the method can meet the requirements of engineering calculation, and overcome the disadvantage that initial value of calculation is difficult to be obtained with other methods. Then the method has advantage especially when the degrees of frequency equation increase.
