On the Transversal Vibrations of a Conveyor Belt Using a String-Like Equation
Keyword(s):
Abstract In this paper an initial-boundary value problem for a linear wave (string) equation is considered. This problem can be used as a simple model to describe the vertical vibrations of a conveyor belt, for which the velocity is small with respect to the wave speed. In this paper the belt is assumed to move with varying speed. Formal asymptotic approximations of the solutions are constructed to show the complicated dynamical behavior of the conveyor belt. It also will be shown that for this problem, the truncation method is not valid on long time scales.
