The Calculation of Force Effects of a Conveyor Belt of the Pipe Conveyor to Forming Rollers by FEM

Abstract

The paper interprets the calculation of the size of force effects created by the reason of the effect of balled conveyor belt of pipe conveyor to the guide rollers located in the ring idler stations. Knowing them is essential for the research of dynamic resistances by pipe conveyors operations. Examined force effects were determined by the help of finite element methods. The calculation was performed by the program Abaqus. Presented calculation is realized by original calculation model. The results of the calculation present information about action of the effect force of the balled conveyor belt to the guide rolls in the ring idler station. Results became a basis for determination of postulates for identification of dynamic resistances. Their knowledge is the key element for conveyor belts lifetime increase.

“…What was at the beginning of the development of belt conveyors unrealistic, now it is often already a reality [2]. Classic belt conveyors are nowadays in some places replaced, for example by their younger modification -by pipe conveyors [3]. Design of new structures currently not possible without CAD applications [4] and computational methods often associated of using Fourier-Mellin transformation registering images of holographic interferograms [5] are method FEA [6].…”
