Numerical Models of Rubber-Textile Composites of Conveyor Belts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system and it’s widely used by various industries. From a material modeling point of view it is a long fiber rubber-textile composite, where textile fibers bear the load. This contribution presents a procedure for material parameters calibration of rubber-textile composite, where large-strain phenomena need to be expected.
