In automotive timing belt drives friction history effects must be taken into concern due to rapidly changing loads. Here a spring based model capable of handling dynamic load conditions is presented. The model also covers partial meshing effects and utilizes Coulomb friction. The model shows good agreement with experimental data found in literature. It is proven that when simulating synchronous belt drives during rapidly changing load conditions, using models for quasi-static load conditions stepwise are not sufficient.
