The steel outfitting structures installed in engine room are vibrated by an excitation of the engine and the propeller. Vibration problems such as cracks and fitting breakages are mainly induced at the near range of the resonance. The excitation frequency estimation is possible by engines and propeller specifications, but the natural frequency of a steel outfitting structure is not easily estimated due to the complication and variety of the designed shape. This paper represents natural frequency data of simple steel outfitting structures. As a vibration analysis tool, MSC/NASTRAN was used to calculate natural frequencies. Natural frequencies were compared in case of the shape and boundary condition changes of simple models, and anti-vibration models of the steel outfitting structures were presented on the basis of results.

Since a ship is a complex steel construction which consists of sculptured surfaces and inner surface members, a high technique of information modeling is indispensable to describe the form of hull surface and steel structure members consistently. A model contains both topological and geometrical information of the structural members. Therefore, the hull form should be represented by the wireframe of surface model so that the accuracy in each design stage is satisfied. The structural members like plane surfaces, stiffeners and the relations between such members are to be described systematically in data base. A collection of the data stored in database is a model to be built. The model will be used not only to generate the drawings and documents for ship design and production but also to interconnect other systems such as compartmentation, outfitting, piping, etc. Computer graphics is adopted of the visualization of model.
