It is possible to apply various methods in order to perform an experimental research of the conveyor belts. Zimroz and
Król
[11]
used the non-destructive testing techniques for evaluation of the conveyor belt condition. Tests of the wear behav-
iour of the conveyor belts performed Wolper and Hager
[12]
. The wearing process of the conveyor belts is characterised by
the almost evenly distributed abrasion of the covers as well as by a local damage, such as tears, nicks in the cover, penetra-
tion of the belt and longitudinal slitting
[12]
. Fiset and Dussault
[13]
compared the wear resistance of a low carbon steel and
polyester matrix composites containing hard particles. For all tests, the loss of weight converted into the loss of volume, was
used to determine wear resistance. Langebrake et al.
[14]
dealt with a non-destructive testing of the steel-cord conveyor
belts. Fedorko et al.
[15]
studied failure analysis of a textile-rubber conveyor belt damaged by a dynamic wear. The main
purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a change of physical and mechanical properties of the dynamically damaged
conveyor belts and to analyse inner structure of the conveyor belt carcass by means of a non-destructive analytic method.
Michalik and Zajac

used the Computer Integrated System for the automated measuring of strength in the conveyor belt
arranged in the pipe conveyor.
