Description
Summary:The transverse vibration of conveyor belts is a crucial aspect in their proper and safe design, as the correct determination of vibration frequencies is essential to avoid unsafe operating conditions and premature wear of components. This study presents the Moving Compressed Beam (MCB) transverse vibration model, that is based on the interpretation of a conveyor belt as a beam known from the literature. This approach allows you to include in the model the transverse flexural rigidity of a troughed belt-a parameter that is closely related to the belt geometry. While not commonly used in engineering practice, the MSB model was compared with other models during the laboratory tests based on changing of trough geometry. This study emphasizes the significance of considering the transverse flexural rigidity of conveyor belts during the design process, and the MCB model which offers a promising approach in aspect of vibration control.
