Abstract

Vibration of axially moving narrow membrane travelling between two roll-supports having finite radius H. Koivurova Department of Mechanical Engineering, University ABSTRACT The dynamic behaviour of a band moving between two support pulleys having finite radius is investigated. In practical applications it has been noticed that in a band-pulley-system boundary of contact region travel due to the interaction between band and pulleys. To understand how the interaction affect on dynamic characteristics of the system, a nonlinear finite element model of axially moving band with two finite radius roll-support has been developed. Numerical results for band-pulley-system under harmonic boundary excitation are considered. INTRODUCTION Axially moving material problems consider dynamic response, vibration and stability of structural members which are in a state of translation. Examples of engineering systems employing axially moving materials include magnetic tapes, belt and chain dr
