...Farong Zhu; Robert G. Parker A model of dry friction tensioner in a belt-pulley system considering transverse belt vibration is developed, and the influence of the dry friction on the system dynamics is examined. The discretized formulation is divided into a linear subsystem including linear...

...Andrea Tonoli; Nicola Amati; Enrico Zenerino Multiribbed serpentine belt drive systems are widely adopted in accessory drive automotive applications due to the better performances relative to the flat or V-belt drives. Nevertheless, they can generate unwanted noise and vibration which may affect...

...Eric M. Mockensturm; Raghavan Balaji One-way clutches and clutch bearings are being used in a wide variety of dynamic systems. Motivated by their recent use as ratchets in piezoelectric actuators and decoupling devices in serpentine belt drives, a method of analysis of systems containing one-way...
