The modal method is applied to analyze coupled vibration of belt drive systems. A belt drive system is a hybrid system consisting of continuous belts modeled as strings as well as discrete pulleys and a tensioner arm. The characteristic equation of the system is derived from the governing equation. Numerical results demenstrate the effects of the transport speed and the initial tension on natural frequencies.

This paper uses the homotopy analysis for the Duffing-harmonic oscillator. The auxiliary parameter in the deformation equation is numerically determined. The response and the frequency of the Duffing-harmonic oscillator are calculated. The analytical results are validated in numerical simulations.
