NUMERICAL ESTIMATE OF CONNECTION DURABILITY OF CONVEYER RUBBER-CABLE BELTS

Abstract

The paper considers theoretically and practically important problem that concerns determination of conditions ensuring durability of conveyer rubber cable belt connections. Numerical modeling for destruction process of cable-rubber connections has been developed in the paper. The paper contains analysis of regularities concerning destruction of inter-cable connections and investigates distribution of de-adhesion zones along connections while using a finite element method.
