2. Belt theory
The operating principle of a synchronous belt is the same as that of a chain, but its (continuous) construction is that of an adhesion-driven belt, and the basic materials used in its construction are the same. As a result, its behavior is virtually identical to that of an adhesion-driven belt (continuity of stresses in the cords, elasticity of materials, etc.). Readers are therefore referred to the articles Mechanical Chains and Transmission pulleys and belts. Adhesion drive in this treatise.
2.1 Forces supported by the belt
Consider a transmission as shown in figure 5 .
The forces supported by the belt are :...
