Abstract: The dynamical equations for a inertial reciprocating machine excited by two rotating eccentric weights were built by the matrix methodology for establishing dynamical equations of discrete systems. A mathematical model of electromechanical coupling system for the machine was formed by combining the dynamical equations with the state equations of the two motors. The computer simulation to the model was performed for several values of the damping coefficient or the motor power, respectively. The substance of transient behavior of the machine is unveiled by analyzing the results of the computer simulation, and new methods are presented for diminishing the transient amplitude of the vibrating machine and improving the transient behavior. The reliable mathematical model is provided for intelligent control of the transient behavior and engineering design of the equipment.
