Abstract

There are two distinct types of system vibrations in belt drive systems: transverse vibrations in various belt spans, and rotational vibration of pulleys with the belt spans serving as coupling springs. For the modal analysis, the belt drive system is divided into two subsystems. Exact closed-form expressions for the dynamic response of the system, which is subjected to arbitrary excitations and initial conditions, are given. These expressions are used in a perturbation analysis of the nonlinear system.
