However it is not possible to analyse, for example, the interaction between the belt sag and the propagation of longitudinal waves or the lifting of the belt off the idlers as can be done with the finite element model. The determined relation between the belt stress and the frequency of transverse vibrations can also be used in belt tension monitoring systems. Figure 8: Ratio between the linear and the nonlinear frequency of transverse vibration of a belt span supported by two idlers. 4. EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION In order to be able to verificate the results of the simulations, experiments have been carried out with the dynamic test facility shown in Figure 9. Figure 9: Dynamic test facility With this test facility the transverse vibration of an unloaded flat belt span between two idlers, as for example a return part, can be determined. An acoustic device is used to measure the displacement of the belt. Besides that, also the tensioning force, belt speed, motor torque, idler rotations and idler space were known during the experiments. 5. EXAMPLE Since the most costeffective operation conditions of belt conveyors occur in the range of belt widths m [2], the belt39。s capacity can be varied by varying the belt speed. However before the belt speed is varied the interaction between the belt and the idler should be determined in order to ensure resonance free belt support. To illustrate this the transverse displacement of a stationary moving belt span between two idlers have been measured. The total belt length L was m, the idler space I was m, the static sag ratio Ks %, 223。 was and the belt speed Vb m/s. After transformation of this signal by a fast fourier technique the frequency spectrum of Figure 5 was obtained. In Figure 5 three frequencies appear. The first frequency is caused by the passage of the belt splice: fs = Vb/L = Hz The second frequency, which appears at Hz, is caused by the transverse vibration of the belt. Figure 10: Frequencies of transverse vibration of a stationary moving belt span supported by two idlers. The third frequency which appears at Hz is caused by the rotation of the idlers. From the numerical simulations Figure 11 was obtained. Figure 11: Calculated resonance zone39。s for different idler diameters D. Cross indicates belt speed and idler space during experiment. Figure 11 shows the zone39。s where resonance caused by the belt/idler interaction may be expected for three idler diameters. The idlers of the belt conveyor had a diameter of m thus resonance phenomena may be expected nearby a belt speed of m/s. To check this, the maximum transverse displacement of the belt span has been measured during a startup of the conveyor. Figure 12: Measured ratio of the standard deviation of the amplitude of transverse vibration and the static belt sag. As can be seen in Figure 12 the maximum amplitude of the transverse vibration occur at a belt speed of m/s as was predicted by the results of simulation with the finite element model. Therefore the belt speed should not be chosen nearby m/s. Although a flat belt is used for the experiments and the theoretical verification, the applied techniques can also be used for troughed belts. 6. CONCLUSIONS Application of beam elements in finite element models of belt conveyors enable the simulation of the transverse displacement of the belt thus enabling the design of resonance free belt supports. The advantage of applying beam elements for small values of 223。 instead of using a linear differential equation to predict resonance phenomena is that also the interaction between the longitudinal and transverse displacement of the belt and the lifting of the belt off the idlers can be predicted from simulation. 7.
