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.

The Effect of Viscous Dampers on Improvement of the Behavior of Tall Belt Truss Structures

Using energy absorption systems in the structures with malfunctioning components is of paramount importance. By absorbing the seismic energy, these systems help the components of the structure to remain resilient during earthquake. In the present study, viscous dampers were applied in order to enhance the reactions of tall building with belt truss. To assess the response of a structure under e...

Optimum Location of Outrigger-belt Truss in Tall Buildings Based on Maximization of the Belt Truss Strain Energy

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...

Review 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...
