It is possible to apply various methods in order to perform an experimental research of the conveyor belts. Zimroz and Król
used the nondestructive testing techniques for evaluation of the conveyor belt condition. Tests of the wear behaviour of the conveyor belts performed Wolper and Hager
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, penetration of the belt and longitudinal slitting
Fiset and Dussault
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.
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 nondestructive 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.
