Abstract: Belt drives are commonly used in various types of transmissions to link two or more rotating shafts. In order to transmit the motion, an effective grip on the pulley has to be set by imposing a pre-load on the belt. Moreover, the dynamics of the system is strongly affected not only by the geometrical and inertial properties but also by the imposed belt tension force as a functional parameter affecting the vibration characteristics. In the present work, it is presented an integrated methodology, experimental and numerical, to determine the dynamic behaviour of a water pump drive in a high-performance internal combustion engine.
