The natural frequency of lateral vibration for ship's propulsion shafting tends to become lower as the relative stiffness of supproted system of the propulsion shafting decreases and the weight of shafting increases. Especially, the propulsion shafting of high-power ships such as car ferries, roll-on/roll-off, and container ships are susceptible to lateral vibration for their resonant speeds are happened to be in ordinary operating speed ranges. So far, many papers on the lateral vibration of ship's propulsion shaftings are published but they treated mainly special cases and not explained explicitly the calculation process. In this paper, the calculation processes of undamped and also forced damped lateral vibration by the transfer matrix method are presented and the calculation programs are developed. With the developed computer programs, a ship's propulsion shafting which was introduced on the published paper is analyzed for its lateral vibration and also the lateral vibration of the main drive shaft for a lathe is calculated to show the availiability of developed computer programs.
