Apps** are being developed to perform mechanical engineering strain analysis of damage levels in belts. The output is used to design a in-laid cable repair length to maximise belt strength at a large damage site. Applicable to hole analysis in fabric belts.
**Apps will eventually be sold for android platforms

Software Application Philosophy
Belt Damage Induced Strain : NDT belt scan signals from steel cord belts can be independently assessed by ConveyorScience for any scan system. Priority is given to our affiliated company Conveyor Technologies Pty Ltd. Clients may request independent an assessment of safety factor at damage sites.
We can independently review and assess belt scan data from any scanning company.
About Non-FEA Strain Analysis : Theory developed by Harrison is applied to corded composite belts to compute stress concentration factors at a damage site. Rubber strain decay along and across the belt is computed and used to provide a repair design for in-laid cable repairs (all part of scan reports).
Non-FE solutions compare to within a few percent of those modelled by FE (papers by Wensrich, Newcastle University).
Why do we provide this detail : Stress concentration factors are used to provide the belt Safety Factor (SF) at any location along the entire belt.
When SF < 2, the belt can break on starting.
