Methods for estimating hysteretic behavior and vibration responses of a timing belt tensioner

An automatic tensioner that consists of a torsional spring and friction damping elements is widely used in belt drive system. The relation of the applied torque versus the imposed angle of tensioner during loading and unloading processes is described as a hysteretic loop. An analytical model is esta...
