  2. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    A flat belt has an effective angle of =. The material of a V-belt or multi-V serpentine belt tends to wedge into the mating groove in a pulley as the load increases, improving torque transmission. [6] For the same power transmission, a V-belt requires less tension than a flat belt, increasing bearing life. [5]

  3. Belt friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_friction

    Belt friction is a term describing the friction forces between a belt and a surface, such as a belt wrapped around a bollard.When a force applies a tension to one end of a belt or rope wrapped around a curved surface, the frictional force between the two surfaces increases with the amount of wrap about the curved surface, and only part of that force (or resultant belt tension) is transmitted ...

  4. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

    The ideal belt is that of the lowest tension that does not slip in high loads. Belt tensions should also be adjusted to belt type, size, speed, and pulley diameters. Belt tension is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt a given distance per inch (or mm) of pulley.

  5. Pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

    Flat belt on a belt pulley Belt and pulley system Cone pulley driven from above by a line shaft. A belt and pulley system is characterized by two or more pulleys in common to a belt. This allows for mechanical power, torque, and speed to be transmitted across axles. If the pulleys are of differing diameters, a mechanical advantage is realized.

  6. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    Tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other object, so as to stretch or pull apart the object. In terms of force, it is the opposite of compression. Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of an object.

  7. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    The vector T may be regarded as the sum of two components: the normal stress (compression or tension) perpendicular to the surface, and the shear stress that is parallel to the surface. If the normal unit vector n of the surface (pointing from Q towards P) is assumed fixed, the normal component can be expressed by a single number, the dot ...

    The formulas are organized into tables in a hierarchical format: chapter, table, case, subcase, and each case and subcase is accompanied by diagrams. The main topics of the book include: • The behavior of bodies under stress • Analytical, numerical, and experimental methods • Tension, compression, shear, and combined stress
