•Experimental measurements of the impact force of conveyor belts.•Interaction between the dynamic impact loading and the supporting system.•Creation of regression models without/with the supporting system.
The paper presents the results of experimental and regression analysis of dynamic effects and reactions in the system consisting of a conveyor belt and a supporting system with idlers and a conveyor belt without a supporting system. On the basis of experimental measurements, regression models were created for conveyor belts with and without the supporting system. Created models describe the process of dynamic impact loading of the conveyor belt when the material falls down onto the conveyor belt in the idle regime.The main objective of the paper is to present the mathematical and statistical approaches to the conveyor belt quality assessment in terms of their impact resistance. The paper points out the possible uses of regression models in practice in order to identify the basic technical parameters of transfer points in the operational conditions, such as the drop height, falling material weight, and the supporting system.
