Abstract

The great majority of mechanical power transmission applications involve rotating shafts, since rotation is continuous and the shafts are cheap relative to other means of power transmission. The two most common power transmission mechanisms in industry are belts, usually V-belts and gears. The efficiencies of belts are generally less than those of gears - that is why belts are not found in the main drive train of road vehicles where fuel economy is critical. This thesis is from author's effort to analyze rubber vbelt behavior from the effect of speed. By development of methodology and experimental, it shows that rubber v-belt loss some amount of energy when it stretched. The literature review was done to understand the theory of v-belt transmission. Universal Testing Machine was used to study the belt stretch and to determine the amount of energy loss. All the data were taken by the experiment conducted and calculation. From the experiment, data shows that there was energy loss when the rubber v-belt is being stretched.
