Abstract
AbstractWe investigate the loss of stability of the steady configuration of a planar visco‐elastic belt drive. The belt is considered as a linearly visco‐elastic slender beam with small bending stiffness, which is driven by a steadily rotating drum. For a belt clamped on both ends at different heights no Hopf bifurcation is found, but a perturbed pitchfork bifurcation is observed. For a belt on a drum different Hopf bifurcation points are detected, which depend strongly on the viscous damping.
