Abstract

V-belts are flexible elements that are used to transmit power and motion between shafts, which have a relatively long distance from each other. There are several types of V-belts, however, in this chapter we only discuss the normal (or standard) and narrow-section V-belts. This chapter deals with introducing our proposed graphical method for designing V-belts.
