Determining Dynamic Belt Tensions Using
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Many problems which occur with belt conveyors can be attributed to system dynamics and the associated variations in belt tension. Material spillage, belt and splice failure, belt lift-off in vertical curves and poor tracking are a few examples of situations where knowledge of the dynamic tensions would be of benefit in eliminating a problem. The difficulty is that measuring dynamic tension at arbitrary points along the conveyor is not a simple task. A finite element program developed at The University of Newcastle can accept belt velocity at any number of points along the conveyor as program inputs. Using this feature measured belt velocities can be used to determine the dynamic tensions at any point on the conveyor system. This paper outlines this procedure and discusses some of its applications.

In this paper, based on maximizing the outrigger-belt truss system’s strain energy, a methodology for determining the optimum location of an outrigger-belt truss system is presented. Tall building structures with combined systems of framed tube, shear core and outrigger-belt truss system’s are modeled using continuum approach. In this approach, the framed tube system is modeled as a cantilevere...
متن کاملReview of Conveyor Belt Monitoring Research in Australia
Conveyor belts reinforced with steel cords fail during operation for various of reasons, including corrosion of the cords from hostile solutions, impact fracture of the cords, splice failure, wear and longitudinal tears. Though steel cord belts are generally confined to applications requiring high belt tensions, they also have applications as high-lift short belts for in-plant handling of parti...
