Improved lumped-parameter model for acoustic monitoring of tension in a timing belt used in automated material handling systems

Automated Material Handling Systems are practically ubiquitous across industry and many rely on the operation of timing belt drives, which require that the belt be tensioned properly in order to function correctly. A series of experiments was carried out in which the frequency spectrum of acoustic...
