Abstract

The tension in power transmitting chains is subject to periodic fluctuation. This is brought about by factors such as polygonal action, eccentricity of sprockets, etc. A study of the dynamic stability of such a chain is presented. Instabilities due to polygonal action are investigated. The analysis is carried out by treating the chain as a travelling uniform heavy string.
