Abstract
In this paper, we provide an analytical solution for the contact problem of an elastic belt extended by two equal smooth rigid pulleys. The belt is treated as a Bernoulli–Euler rod, and the expressions for pulley displacement and pulley reaction force are given in terms of Jacobi elliptical functions. Theoretical considerations are enhanced by examples in tabular and graphical form.
