Abstract
A method of analyzing vibration in a longitudinal direction of a transmission belt that is trained around at least a drive pulley and a driven pulley in a power transmission system. The method includes the steps of using a vibration analysis model which involves a) generating data relative to the power transmission system; and b) calculating belt tension values, including a selected belt tension value, using the generated data. In the event that the selected belt tension value is calculated to be at or lower than a predetermined belt tension value, a correction is made in the selected belt tension value. The corrected, selected, calculated belt tension value is used to carry out the vibration analysis.
