Abstract: Recent studies have shown that steady and unsteady operation of a belt drive may exhibit regimes absent of sliding at the belt–pulley interface, where instead detachment waves serve to relax stress in the so-called “slip” ...

Abstract: We experimentally study the dynamic behavior of a belt-drive system to explore the effect of loading conditions, driving speed, and system inertia on both the frequency and amplitude of the observed frictional and rotational ...

Abstract: Recent experimental studies have shown that tension transition via detachment waves (rather than via sliding, as commonly accepted) occurs at the belt–pulley interface for systems using simple homogeneous or textured flat ...

Abstract: In the original publication, the calculation of volumetric hysteresis loss due to bending was incorrect. The transition regions, where the belt bending changes between none and final curvature, take place at the inlet and ...
