Impact of belt drive on structural dynamics of Engine

Impact of belt drive on structural dynamics of Engine

(OP)
Hallo All ,

I am interested to know whether a presence of belt drive with constant tension will have impact on the structural dynamics of an engine ?

I want to do a Modal and Frequenz response analyis with the belt drive on an engine .

Any theoritical explanation please .

RE: Impact of belt drive on structural dynamics of Engine

It will have an influence. But if is large enough to be respected depends on the force/tension relative to the stiffness of the affected engine components.

If you want to simulate that, you need to use a nonlinear solver.
