3.1 Belt longevity criteria
We have just seen in paragraph 2 that the transmission of power by belts entails the presence of several types of tensile forces in each of the strands:
useful tractive effort ;
tensile force due to centrifugal force ;
stress...

Calculation of V-belt and ribbed belt drives
In this section, we will confine ourselves to the calculation of V-belt and ribbed belt drives. The calculation examples given below are based on elastomer belts and cast-iron or steel pulleys.
Note :
the notations used for pulley diameters D and d (large and small respectively) will be the reference diameters and,...
