Stiffness loss of synchronous belts

This paper considers the loss of extensional stiffness of synchronous belts through the life of the belt. It is shown experimentally that the belt extensional stiffness reduces initially with running time, before levelling out to remain constant. The stiffness loss is considered to arise from the de...
