Numerical and Experimental Stress-Strain Analysis of a Rubber Carousel

Abstract

The effect of the impact load exerted by the baggage impacting light baggage carousels may be manifested as mechanical damage to the carousel as a result of the stress-strain processes. In order to describe the phenomena related to the baggage impact, it is important to monitor the tensile strength of rubber carousels of light conveyor belts intended for the conveyance of baggage at airports. The output of the article is monitoring the mechanical load of the carousel, the comparison of the results thereof with the outputs of the CAE analysis, as well as the determination of the optimal material model and the approximation thereof to the experimental model.
