Abstract
The relationship between synchronous belt properties (belt extensional stiffness, belt tension relaxation, belt tooth stiffness, and coeffic ient of friction) and the properties of the materials which make up th e belts (elastomer compound, facing fabric and cord) is examined. The relative importance of the different constituent materials in determin ing the belt properties is assessed and the possible effects of loadin g frequency and aging on the belt properties are discussed.
