The nonlinear vibration of moving viscoelastic belts excited by the eccentricity of pulleys is investigated through experimental and analytical methods. Laboratory measurements demonstrate the nonlinearities in the responses of the belt particularly in the resonance region and with the variation of tension, The measurements of the belt motion are made using noncontact laser sensors. Jump and hysteresis phenomenon are observed experimentally and were studied with a model. which considers the nonlinear relation of belt stretch. An ordinary differential equation is derived as a working form of the belt equation of motion, Numerical results show good agreements with the experimental observations, which demonstrates the nonlinearity of viscoelastic moving belts.

The main source of transverse vibration of a conveyor belt is frictional contact between pulley and belt. Also, environmental characteristics such as natural dampers and springs affect natural frequencies, stability and bifurcation points of system. These phenomena can be modeled by a small velocity fluctuation about mean velocity. Also, viscoelastic foundation can be modeled as the dampers and springs with continuous characteristics. In this study, non-linear vibration of a conveyor belt supported partially by a distributed viscoelastic foundation is investigated. Perturbation method is applied to obtain a closed form analytic solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show stiffness, damping coefficient, foundation length, non-linearity and mean velocity effects on location of bifurcation points, natural frequencies and stability of solutions.
