... difference FD and finite element FE methods are demonstrated numerically. Unlike FD or FE methods that rely on fine discretization of beam members to improve its accuracy, the generalized SM that treats the boundary value problem (BVP) as an initial value problem can achieve higher-order accuracy relatively...

... loss and maximum tension ratio. The governing boundary value problem (BVP) with undetermined boundaries is converted to a fixed boundary form solvable by a general-purpose BVP solver. Compared to flat belt drives or models that neglect radial friction, significant differences in the steady belt-pulley...

...Ashok V. Kumar; Jongho Lee Numerical methods for solving boundary value problems that do not require generation of mesh to approximate the analysis domain have been referred to as mesh-free methods. While many of these are “mesh less” methods that do not have connectivity between nodes, a subset...

...Go¨ran Gerbert, Professor,; Francesco Sorge, Professor, Analysis of power transmission in a belt drive consisting of, e.g., two pulleys might be treated as a boundary value problem. Tight side tension F T , slack side tension F S and the wrap angle α are the three natural boundary conditions...
