Nonlinear material modeling and finite element analysis of V-ribbed belts

Abstract

"The V-ribbed belt-drive system has become increasingly important to the automotive industry. There is a need to understand the operational characteristics of these belt-drive systems for optimal design and manufacturing. A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model was built to study the belt-pulley contact interaction."--Abstract, page iv.
