Investigation of The Dynamic Deflection of Conveyor Belts Via Simulation Modelling Methods on Idler Factor

Abstract: Belt conveyor is today’s very important mechanism in material handling industries and is most commonly used to transport bulk materials such as grain, salt, coal and sand. Belt deflection indicates belt is loosening. It occurs between the idler roll sets due to the self-weight of the belt and the forces from the bulk material. This paper includes detailed analysis of the conveyor belt deflection under pragmatic load conditions. The aim of the project is to develop a Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation model… Show more

“…In the model tests, the pipes exhibited only slight deformation compared to their displacement, meeting the requirement for implementation of the oneway transient DEM-FEM coupling method [48,49]. As in previous studies [33,46,50,51], this one-way transient coupling algorithm involved computing boundary data (i.e., particle forces on the surface of the structure) using the DEM and subsequently integrating it into the FEM simulation as a condition at each step, without providing feedback from the FEM to the DEM. During the DEM-FEM coupling, the particle forces on the boundary of the pipe (triangular geometry) were collected first in the DEM part, and then the vertex force per boundary triangle was computed as the average of the values corresponding to the surrounding triangles.…”
