Calculation of V-belt and ribbed belt drives
In this section, we will confine ourselves to the calculation of V-belt and ribbed belt drives. The calculation examples given below are based on elastomer belts and cast-iron or steel pulleys.
Note :
the notations used for pulley diameters D and d (large and small respectively) will be the reference diameters and, for length L , the reference...
