Energy dissipation in gear with timing belts

Abstract

The loss of energy in gear with timing belt is a reason of belt destruction. The analysis of coupling between timing belt and pulley lets us point out the most important cause for lost of energy in gears with timing belt. Due to circumferenial force and pre-tension friction forces and centrifugal forces as well as transverse and lonigitudinal forces in cords evoked by vibrations there are many complex stresses occurring in the gear.
