Rotor unbalance is most common fault found in the rotating machines. Methods are adopted to analyze the position of unbalance and to bring its effect into acceptablelimit. Vibration analysis is the most common technique used to analyze the rotor system. Research have been performed on rotor supported atboth ends, however lessstudy has been done for overhung rotor. In this paper the response of overhung rotoron isotropic support and anisotropic support subject tounbalance has been presented.and equations aresolved using MATLAB programming. The effect of unbalancehas been studied on thebode plot. Forward and Reverse whirl are observed through Campbell diagram andmode shapes are plotted.
