Vibrations of belts and belt drives

Abstract During its operation, a power transmission belt can undergo axial, transverse and torsional motion. Models available for analyzing the free and forced vibrations of the belt are discussed. The effects of initial tension, transport velocity, bending rigidity, support flexibility, large displacements and belt and pulley imperfections are discussed. Vibrations of belt drives are also considered, and the influence of several complicating factors are mentioned. This article reviews the state-of-the-art in vibration analysis of power transmission belts. Many contributions found in the literature are brought together, and some new results are also included.
