The Two-Dimensional Dynamic Behavior of Conveyor Belts Ir. G. Lodewijks, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands 1. SUMMARY 1--------In this paper a new finite element model of a belt-conveyor system will be introduced. This model has been developed in order to be able to simulate both the longitudinal and transverse dynamic response of the belt during starting and stopping. Application of the model in the design stage of long overland belt-conveyor systems enables the engineer, for example, to design proper belt-conveyor curves by detecting premature lifting of the belt off the idlers. It also enables the design of optimal idler spacing and troughing configuration in order to ensure resonance free belt motion by determining (standing) longitudinal and transverse belt vibrations. Application of feed-back control techniques enables the design of optimal starting and stopping procedures whereas an optimal belt can be selected by taking the dynamic properties of the belt into account. 2. INTRODUCTION 2--------The Netherlands has long been recognised as a country in which transport and transhipment play a major role in the economy. The port of Rotterdam, in particular is known as the gateway to Europe and claims to have the largest harbour system in the world. Besides the large numbers of containers, a large volume of bulk goods also passes through this port. Not all these goods are intended for the Dutch market, many have other destinations and are transhipped in Rotterdam. Good examples of typical bulk goods that are transhipped are coal and iron ore, a significant part of which is intended for the German market. In order to handle the bulk materials a wide range of different mechanical conveyors including belt-conveyors is used. 3--------The length of most belt-conveyor systems erected in the Netherlands is relatively small, since they are mainly used for in-plant movement of bulk materials. The longest belt-conveyor system, which is about 2 km long, is situa
