Torsional Analysis

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.

Transport Theorem

The mechanical behavior of V-belt variators during the speed ratio shift is different from the steady operation as a gross radial motion of the belt is superimposed to the circumferential motion. The theoretical analysis involves equilibrium equations similar to the steady case, but requires a re-formulation of the mass conservation condition making use of the Reynolds transport theorem. The mathematical model of the belt-pulley coupling implies the repeated numerical solution of a strongly non-linear differential system. Nevertheless, an attentive observation of the numerical diagrams suggests simple and useful closed-form approximations for the four possible working modes of any pulley, opening/closing, driver/driven, whose validity ranges over most practical cases. The present analysis focuses on the development of such simplified solutions, succeeding in an excellent matching with the numerical plots, and on the comparison of the theory with some experimental tests on a motorcycle variator, revealing a very good agreement.

Interest in the use of popped sorghum in food products has resulted in a niche market for sorghum hybrids with high popping quality but little work has been done to assess the relative effects of field processing methods of grain on popping quality. This study evaluated the relative effects of harvest moisture and threshing methods on the popping quality of sorghum grain. A grain sorghum hybrid with good popping quality was produced during two different years in Texas wherein it was harvested at two moisture levels (low and high) and grain was removed from panicles using five different threshing methods (hand, rubber belt, metal brushes and two metal concave bar systems). Years, harvest moisture content and threshing method influenced all three popping quality measurements (popping efficacy, expansion ratio and flake size), but threshing method had an order of magnitude larger effect than either moisture level or year. While many of the interactions were significant, they did not influence the general trends observed. As such, the threshing methods with less direct impact force on the grain (hand and rubber belt) had higher popping quality than those samples threshed with greater impact force on the grain (metal-based systems). The popping quality differences between threshing system are likely due to a reduction in kernel integrity caused by the impacts to the kernel that occurred while threshing the grain. The results herein indicate that field processing of the grain, notably threshing method has significant impacts on the popping quality and should be taken into consideration when grain sorghum is harvested for popping purposes.

Detection And Separation

All product manufacturing units need to have a faulty product detection and separation system in order to maintain product quality and maintain a good reputation. So here we demonstrate such a system using a mini conveyer belt system. We propose to design and fabricate a faulty product detection and separation mechanism. Each product is different and thus has different mechanisms to detect faulty products. Here we detect fault in lock based on its size and operations. We use a sensor to detect each lock size and operations as products move over a conveyer belt. The conveyer is design so that it can hold the lock so that it does not fall or leave the conveyer belt. A defected product with size lower than minimum limit will be automatically detected as it moves on a conveyer belt and separated by a conveyer arm. If the product passes the size test the next sensor perform it task to operate the lock so that it can open the locking mechanism and check if it opens or not. If the product passes the test it is send for packaging and if not the product is separated and sent to production line for correct the fault. Here we use rollers and rubber belt to develop a mini conveyer belt mechanism. This mechanism is operated by a motor. This system uses servo motor arm to separate the faulty product.

The steering mechanism of tracked vehicles is complicated and large, which is an obstacle for its miniaturization. According to the theory of rubber-belt CVTs, a new kind of steering mechanism for small Tracked vehicle is designed. The mechanism consists of two symmetrical-layout rubber-belt CVTs. A sliding part for steering is designed, which can slide axially to make the transmission ratio of one transmission increase while the other reduces, so that the tracked vehicle turns. The steering motion is calculated and its motion discipline is founded. The steering sensitivity and steering smoothness are analyzed, and its steering performance is evaluated.
