The dynamic model of conveyor belt stresses

Abstract: The article considers the causes of dynamic stress when moving a conveyor belt with a material. The main factors of the occurrence of the dynamic resistance in the conveyor system are defined. It is demonstrated what the propagation speed of perturbations substantially depends on the loading level of the conveyor sys-tem with the material. When constructing a model of dynamic stresses, Hooke's law was used, which is an accurate approximation for most sol-id bodies, as long as the forces and deformations are small enough. The main attention in the article is given to the causes of dynamic stresses at the start of the conveyor system. When calculating the deformations, the inertia forces of the moving material and tape are taken into account. The analysis of the appearance of dynamic stresses at a constant value of the conveyor belt acceleration and the linear nature of the change in the value of the conveyor belt acceleration was carried out
