The problem of rubber degradation in conveyor belts is a very important question, because the conveyor belt incorporates
a lot amount of rubber, which is an expensive base material
Dobrota
published a theoretical study oriented to a
simulation of the joining between the metal cord insertion and the rubber matrix and he obtained a relationship for
calculation of a degradation degree of the connection between the metal cord insertion and the rubber matrix. You-fu
and Fan-sheng
[23]
developed a new full two-dimensional semi-analytical method based on Maxwell model in order to simulate rigorously and efficiently and to solve the indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belts. Xie et al. studied the con-
veyor belt materials with regard to the heat-resistant performance characteristics
. A determination of temperature
distribution in the conveyor belt as well as on the upper and lower surfaces of a rotocure system analysed Sadraei et al.
