Experimental Study of the Influence of the Interaction of a Conveyor Belt Support System on Belt Damage Using Video Analysis

Abstract

This article describes a method of obtaining data from the examination of an impact process by capturing it with a TroubleShooter TSHRMM high-speed camera and evaluating the results of a video analysis of the impact of the load on a conveyor belt using MiDAS Player version 5.0.0.3. By using the conveyor belt deflection obtained from the video analysis and the visual damage to the conveyor belt from an impactor, damage classification models were created. This model was created for two groups of experiments that took place without the presence of a support system and with the presence of a support system, respectively. The experimental research included monitoring the deflection of the conveyor belt and the degree of damage to the conveyor belt from the selected parameters.
