Abstract:The objective of this study is to investigate if a high-fidelity finite element model can predict the Schallamach wave phenomenon in belt-drives. To this end a computational model which closely mimics a recently developed one-pulley experimental belt-drive apparatus, was created. The dynamic response predicted by the model is compared to the experiment results in order to demonstrate that the model can be used to predict the Schallamach wave phenomenon. Furthermore, the model is used to investigate the roles o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
