Abstract

The article processes an issue of the strength of a support system of a belt conveyor applying the numerical and experimental analysis approach. The support system of a belt conveyor is during the operation exposed to high impact forces due to the impact of the foreign objects. The methodology of the numerical analysis is based on the finite element modelling and according to the experimental analysis the boundary conditions are estimated. The results obtained using the numerical analyses are identical to the results from the experimental analysis. Maximal damage of the support system of a belt conveyor is estimated and according to the proposed methodology verified by the comparison of the experimental and numerical results, the design and optimization of the support system for the practical operation can be performed.
