In slide chain conveyors vibrations often appear. These cause detrimental effects in conveying process and decrease the durability of chains. To study the vibrations, a multi-body simulation model has been developed, in which rheological elements are used to represent the dynamic effects. A focus was determining material values required for the mod...

Context 1
... vibrations that occur in slide chain conveyor systems are mainly caused by longitudinal oscillations (green arrow in Figure 2). These can be seen visually depending on good load and chain length. ...
Context 2
... contrast, transversal vibrations (red arrow in Figure 2) occur perpendicular to the direction of movement of the chain. Since the guiding system prevent a vertical chain movement, these transversal vibrations are less distinct. ...

While it is widely used to represent hysteresis phenomena with unidirectional-oriented loops, we study in this paper the use of Preisach operator for describing hysteresis behavior with multidirectional-oriented loops. This complex hysteresis behavior is commonly found in advanced materials, such as, shape-memory alloys or piezoelectric materials,...
