Das Bandwandern ist bisher detailliert untersucht [2-4], w{\"a}hrend die Bandverformung Gegenstand weniger Ver{\"o}ffentlichungen ist. Deshalb wird in diesem Artikel eine Methode zur Berechnung der sich im dynamischen Betrieb einstellenden Verformung eines elastischen F{\"o}rderbandes vorgestellt. Dazu wird ein Mehrk{\"o}rpersimulations-Modell basierend auf der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung verwendet. Als Untersuchungsbeispiel dient ein Zwei-Walzensystem mit flexiblen und zylindrischen Walzen, sowie ein flexibles F{\"o}rderband. Es zeigt sich, dass mit der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung eine dynamische Bandverformung, die von der gew{\"a}hlten Diskretisierung abh{\"a}ngt, berechnet werden kann. Aufgrund dieser Abh{\"a}ngigkeit ist es notwendig eine Konvergenzanalyse durchzuf{\"u}hren. Zus{\"a}tzlich ist darauf zu achten, dass die k{\"u}nstliche Anregung aufgrund der Lumped-Mass-Modellierung nicht mit einer Eigenfrequenz des Modells zusammenf{\"a}llt.}, language = {de} } @article{SchudererRillSchaefferetal., author = {Schuderer, Matthias and Rill, Georg and Schaeffer, Thomas and Schulz, Carsten}, title = {Friction modeling from a practical point of view}, series = {Multibody System Dynamics}, journal = {Multibody System Dynamics}, publisher = {Springernature}, issn = {1384-5640}, doi = {10.1007/s11044-024-09978-0}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-72513}, pages = {18}, abstract = {AbstractRegularized static friction models have been used successfully for many years. However, they are unable to maintain static friction in detail. For this reason, dynamic friction models have been developed and published in the literature. However, commercial multibody simulation packages such as Adams, RecurDyn, and Simpack have developed their own specific stick-slip models instead of adopting one of the public domain approaches. This article introduces the fundamentals of these commercial models and their behavior from a practical point of view. The stick-slip models were applied to a simple test model and a more sophisticated model of a festoon cable system using their standard parameters.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchudererRillSchulzetal., author = {Schuderer, Matthias and Rill, Georg and Schulz, Carsten and Schaeffer, Thomas}, title = {Influence of fictitious bristle parameters in dynamic friction models}, series = {Global Annual Meet on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (GAMMAE2025), March 10-12, 2025, Rome, Italy}, journal = {Global Annual Meet on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (GAMMAE2025), March 10-12, 2025, Rome, Italy}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-8034}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-80348}, abstract = {In this study, the influence of bristle parameters in dynamic friction models is investigated, in particular in the LuGre and FrD2 models.

A method for adapting parameters from the well-known LuGre model to the FrD2 model is introduced. The FrD2 model accurately captures complex friction phenomena, including the Stribeck effect, which is essential for simulating friction-induced vibrations. Tested on a festoon cable system and a belt model, the FrD2 model demonstrates itself as a robust alternative to both the LuGre and Simpack models, especially for applications requiring continuous transitions between static and dynamic friction states, long-term stiction effects, and other complex friction behaviors.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchudererRillSchaefferetal., author = {Schuderer, Matthias and Rill, Georg and Schaeffer, Thomas and Schulz, Carsten}, title = {Friction modeling from a practical point of view}, series = {MULTIBODY2023: 11th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics, Tampa, 24th-28th May 2023}, journal = {MULTIBODY2023: 11th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Multibody Dynamics, Tampa, 24th-28th May 2023}, language = {en} } @article{VoglSchulzSchaefferetal., author = {Vogl, Yannick and Schulz, Carsten and Schaeffer, Thomas and Geiger, Benjamin}, title = {Prediction of the wear behavior of a conveyor belt with flexible rollers}, series = {Multibody System Dynamics}, journal = {Multibody System Dynamics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {1384-5640}, doi = {10.1007/s11044-025-10097-7}, pages = {16}, abstract = {This paper introduces a method to predict wear behavior in conveyor belt systems using a lumped mass modeling approach.

A convergence analysis reveals the minimum necessary discretization of the belt, ensuring reliable qualitative results. To support the credibility of the work, this study compares theoretical expectations and initial wear observations from a real belt with the results from the shown approach. The plausibility check already shows promising results. The proposed methodology provides an adaptable framework to evaluate wear in belt-like structures. It can be readily adapted to a variety of multibody dynamics applications and integrated into larger MBS models that include the overall drivetrain and engine control.
