We experimentally study the dynamic behavior of a belt-drive system to explore the effect of loading conditions, driving speed, and system inertia on both the frequency and amplitude of the observed frictional and rotational instabilities. A self-excited oscillation is reported whereby local detachment events in the belt–pulley interface serve as harmonic forcing of the pulley, leading to angular velocity oscillations that grow in time. Both the frictional instabilities and the pulley oscillations depend strongly on operating conditions and system inertia, and differ between the driver and driven pulleys. A larger net torque applied to the pulley generally intensifies Schallamach waves of detachment in the driver case but has little influence on other measured response quantities. Higher driving speeds accelerate the occurrence of frictional instabilities as well as pulley oscillations in both cases. Increasing the system's inertia does not affect the behavior of contact instabilities, but does lead to a steadier rotation of the pulley and more pronounced fluctuations in the belt tension. A simple dynamic model of the belt-drive system demonstrates good agreement with the experimental results and provides strong evidence that frictional instabilities are the primary source of the system's self-oscillation.

We study the dynamic behavior of a belt-drive system to explore the effect of operating conditions and system moment of inertia on the generation of waves of detachment (i.e., Schallamach waves) at the belt-pulley interface. A self-excitation phenomenon is reported in which frictional fluctuations serve as harmonic forcing of the pulley, leading to angular velocity oscillations which grow in time. This behavior depends strongly on operating conditions (torque transmitted and pulley speed) and system inertia, and differs between the driver and driven pulleys. A larger net torque applied to the pulley generally yields more remarkable stick-slip oscillations with higher amplitude and lower frequency. Higher driving speeds accelerate the occurrence of stick-slip motion, but have little influence on the oscillation amplitude. Contrary to our expectations, the introduction of flywheels to increase system inertia amplified the frictional disturbances, and hence the pulley oscillations. This does, however, suggest a way of facilitating their study, which may be useful in follow-on research.

Abstract The dissipative rolling friction moment in a simple belt-drive system is estimated both experimentally and computationally while taking into account the detachment events at the belt-pulley interface. Shear traction is estimated based on measurements of the shear strain along the contact arc. It is shown that the dissipative moment can be approximated by taking the difference between the shear traction and the load carried by the belt. A model is developed for analyzing the contributions of different components to this dissipative moment by considering both the volumetric and surface hysteresis losses. The computed rolling friction moment is found to be in good agreement with that estimated based on the experiments. It is also found that while the shear- and stretching-induced energy losses contribute the most to the dissipation in the belt drive system, the losses associated with the Schallamach waves of detachment make up a considerable portion of the dissipation in the driver case.

The serpentine belt drive system is used in the auto industry. To avoid thermal destruction inside the belt drive and improve the thermal fatigue life of pulley materials under a variety of operating conditions, the temperature information for each load case must be determined within only a few seconds. To this end, this paper proposes an advanced thermal model to calculate the temperature distribution of a serpentine belt drive at static state operating conditions in an efficient manner. In this model, using analytical and numerical methods, a set of equations is developed according to the thermal flows and heat exchanges occurring in the system. After calculating the thermal flows of each pulley and the belt temperature, the baseline numerical simulations are modified to output the temperature distribution for each pulley. In this manner, the time-consuming numerical calculations for each pulley are performed only once and then analytically modified to provide the temperature predictions for various designed load cases, which dramatically reduces the computational time while maintaining the accuracy. Furthermore, experiments were performed to obtain the temperature data, and the results exhibited a good agreement with the corresponding calculated results. The proposed model can thus be effectively utilized for several types of belt systems and the material development of pulleys.

This paper presents the effects of lateral misalignment of sheaves, on the transverse span displacements of a serpentine belt drive system that contains a driving sheave, a driven sheave, a belt, and a dynamic tensioner. This defect gives rise to dangerous operating conditions for the system. A hybrid discrete—continuous model is adopted, in which the coupling between the discrete variables describing the rotational motion of the three sheaves and the tensioner arm and the continuous variables describing the transverse motion of the belt spans is taken into account. An analytical method based on the perturbation method is used to determine the explicit expressions of the transverse span displacements and permits the study of the effects of design variables on the dynamic behaviour of the system in the presence of the defect described earlier.

AbstractThe front-end accessory drive belt drive system is a critical component in the vehicle engine. To avoid thermal deterioration under static state operating conditions, the thermal distribution for the belt drive system at each condition must be determined in an efficient manner. Due to the numerical approach is not feasible to address this concern because of its high computational cost, this paper proposes a reliable and efficient novel analytical thermal model to achieve this goal. This work develops the state-of-the-art heat transfer ordinary differential equations (ODEs) describing the thermal flow and heat dissipations on the complex structures of pulleys. Then it integrates these ODEs with heat transfer governing equations of the belt and heat exchanges to establish an innovative system of equations that can be solved within a few seconds to provide temperature plots. Moreover, experiments were conducted on a dynamometer to verify the accuracy of the proposed model under a wide range of conditions. The results indicate that the measured temperatures are in good agreement with the corresponding analytical results. Owing to its efficiency, the proposed model can be integrated with other mechanical characterizations of the belt drive system in terms of design, optimization, and thermal fatigue analyses.

ABSTRACT The use of studded tires has been a subject of controversy from the time they came into market. While studded tires contribute to traffic safety under severe winter conditions by increasing tire friction on icy roads, they also cause damage to the road surface when running on bare roads. Consequently, one of the main challenges in studded tire development is to reduce road wear while still ensuring a good grip on ice. Therefore, a research project was initiated to gain understanding about the mechanisms and influencing parameters involved in road wear by studded tires. A test method using the institute's internal drum test bench was developed. Furthermore, mechanisms causing road wear by studded tires were derived from basic analytical models. These mechanisms were used to identify the main parameters influencing road wear by studded tires. Using experimental results obtained with the test method developed, the expected influences were verified. Vehicle driving speed and stud mass were found to be major factors influencing road wear. This can be explained by the stud impact as a dominant mechanism. By means of the test method presented, quantified and comparable data for road wear caused by studded tires under controllable conditions can be obtained. The mechanisms allow predicting the influence of tire construction and variable operating conditions on road wear.

A computational scheme is devised that adapts the analysis to the computation of the MBD’s performance for any specified drive-schedule. General performance characteristics of the MBD and an example illustrating its response to a given drive-schedule are presented. The use of the analysis and the computational scheme in the design of the MBD and in finding the optimum operating conditions is discussed.
