Introduction of a damping mechanism in the flexible multibody belt-drive model: a numerical and experimental investigation
Résumé
A belt-drive model using an absolute nodal coordinate formulation is presented. The aim of this paper is to introduce a damping mechanism into the belt-drive model and to verify it against experimental data. Different damping mechanisms are proposed for the damping of the longitudinal and bending deformations and several experiments were conducted in order to obtain the damping properties. Good agreement between the numerical result and the experimentally obtained data was found.
