The paper preseiits an investigation on vibrations of mechanical systems arising from unbalanced masses. At the experimental stage, a power transmission shaft is driven at different operating speeds, therefore, the paranieters, such as displacement, velocity and acceleration in vertical direction due to body vibrations are measured at various points on the frame before and after balancing. Balancing has provided a definite decrease in the amplitudes of vibration parameters.
In addition to these studies mentioned above, the use of Neural Network (NN) for vibration analysis of a frame due to unbalanced transmission shaft is also achieved. The results show that the NN approach exactly follows the foregoing results. This implies the necessity of the non-linear modelling capabilities of the NN for vibration problems of mechanical systems.
