Abstract: Flat belt drive are the working horses of industries which is also called as loop of flexible material and are used to connect to or more rotating shaft mechanically for massive amount of power transmission. The main purpose of this thesis is to reason out the concept of failure of the belt during continuous operation and to see the stress pattern during half revolution of a pulley in a belt of a belt drive.
Keywords: Belt Drive, Major & Minor Diameter of Pulley, Velocity ratio & Rated Power
