Mechanical systems including conveyor belts, band saw blades, and power transmission belts are influenced by the lateral motion of the moving structure. This phenomenon was studied in the literature both using the theory of the continuous linear and nonlinear systems and following the multibody technique. The subject is studied by using the finite element method (FEM) validated with reference to the analytical models described in the literature. The contributions of the Coriolis forces, the negative stiffness linked to the transport speed, and the bending stiffness due to the transverse moment of inertia are discussed. The dynamic behavior of a prototypical belt transmission layout with two fixed pulleys and an automatic tensioner is then analyzed. The results show the effect of the transport speed on the reduction of the flexural natural frequencies of the mode shapes strictly related to the lateral motion of the belt span and evidence the design strategy that needs to be followed for a correct operation of the whole system.

The flexible manipulator is widely used in space robots, robot arm, and manufacturing industries that produce micro-scale products. This study aims to formulate the equation of motion of a flexible single-link manipulator system that moves translationally and rotationally and to develop computational codes with finite element methods in performing dynamic simulation on the vibration of the flexible manipulator system. The system of the single-link flexible manipulator (SLFM) consists of the aluminum beam as a flexible link, clamp part to hold the link, DC motor to rotate drive shaft, a trajectory to transfer link in translational motion, and servo motor to rotate link. Computational codes in time history response (THR) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing were developed to identify the dynamic behavior of the link. The finite element-method and Newmark-beta are used in simulating the SLFM. Simulation using the finite element method has displayed dynamic behavior through a graph of FFT on free vibration and THR graph on forced vibration by the excitation force due to the translational and rotational motions of the system. In the simulation of free vibration, the natural frequency of the system is 8.3 [Hz].

The dynamic modeling of the rotating machines system is required to understand their dynamic behavior and the associated vibration problems. Fortunately, this modeling has seen a great development, since the use of Timoshenko or Euler-Bernoulli beam, followed by the Jeffcott and Laval rotor until using fine and complex techniques these days. Unfortunately, this development remains still insufficient to describe in a realistic way the dynamic behavior, in particular the rotor. Nowadays, the using of the finite element method, which is considered as the powerful numerical tool, gave a great help. This method can model as real as possible the phenomena that influence the rotor behavior, but this tool remains inapplicable to describe its behavior when it undergoes at the same time motion, deformations and the faults effects. To resolve these problems, a number of mathematical artifices are used, but, these methods are some times very difficult or are too complex and the result obtained is not always as good as it hopes. In fact, the deformed rotor resolution method is reduced to a modal solution, which does not show the real deformations during time in many cases. In order to simplify the resolution and to show rotor movement with deformation under faults effects, a method is proposed to allow a better approach of this problem. This method is based on subdividing the structure to mass-point sections that make possible to consider the rotational motion with deformations of the rotors. In this work, the above method is implemented on engineering simulation software dedicated for rotordynamics, and the calculation results are validated against experimental data of fault simulations in rotors as presented in the following sections of this paper.
