Although timing belt drives have recently been increasingly used in mechanical design, their
behaviour is still considered to a large extent to be unpredictable, especially under varying …

Dynamic behaviour of timing belts has always interested the engineering community over
the years. Nowadays, there are several numerical methods to predict the dynamics of these …

A novel non-destructive testing procedure for delamination detection based on the
exploitation of the simultaneous time and spatial sampling provided by Continuous …

A complete dynamic model of a timing belt drive system with an oval cogged pulley and an
auto-tensioner is established in this work. Periodic torsional vibrations of all accessory …

This paper discusses the application of 3D vision-based techniques to recover the
Operational Deflection Shapes of a reference specimen consisting in a rectangular section …

This work aims at utilizing state-of-the-art and powerful measurement techniques to develop
a tool for estimating the acoustic radiation of synchronous belts during the design stage. One …

In this paper, the noise sources of synchronous belt are decomposed and formulated based
on the analysis of the impact dynamics of belt-sprocket tooth interface. The impact/contact of …

This paper proposes the use of continuous scanning laser Doppler vibrometry (CSLDV) in
time domain correlation techniques that aim at characterizing the structure-borne …

The present paper proposes a novel damage detection approach based on the exploitation
of the simultaneous time and spatial sampling provided by CSLDV and the feature extraction …

This paper formulated noise sources of synchronous belt in terms of structure-borne noise
and airborne noise. The structure-borne noise consists of structural impact noise and friction …
