Abstract
Increased demands in regard to operational safety, durability and reliability are placed on dynamically highly stressed belt drives for modern auxiliary system drives (front-end accessory drives, FEAD) in automobiles. In this article important design features for ribbed V-belts are worked out and an innovative simulation tool is introduced. The tool was developed by the firm Contecs in co-operation with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technische Universität Berlin for the VDA research group FEAD. It simulates the dynamic processes in belt drives in a quality and depth of physical modelling that have previously not been achieved.
