.... The transmission efficiency of the MBDM can reach 95 - 98 % , while its elastic creep rate is < 0.1 % under normal running conditions. 06 04 2006 14 07 2006 A area of the cross section of belt, mm 2 B magnetic flux density, T b width of belt...

... of the transmission during slow shifting maneuvers, referred to as “creep mode,” is caused by the bending of the pulleys, that is to say for rigid pulleys no “creep mode” can be observed. Moreover, the model shows that increasing the rate of change of speed ratio a transition from the “creep-mode” to the so called...

...M. B. Rubin The creep theory of multipulley belt drive systems is reexamined and the belt is modeled as an elastic extensible string. An exact solution of the nonlinear steady state equations of a string is obtained which includes, elastic extension, Coulomb friction, radial and tangential...
