Machine Design
The ratio of driving tensions for flat belts, neglecting centrifugal tension, is (where T₁, and T₂ = Tensions on the tight and slack sides of belt respectively, μ = Coefficient of friction, between the belt and pulley, and θ = Angle of contact)
When the maximum principal stress in a biaxial stress system reaches the elastic limit of the material in a simple tension test
When the maximum shear stress in a biaxial stress system reaches the shear stress at elastic limit in a simple tension test
When the maximum principal strain in a biaxial stress system reaches the strain at the elastic limit as determined from a simple tension test
When the strain energy per unit volume in a biaxial stress system reaches the strain energy at the elastic limit per unit volume as determined from a simple tension test
