Lyle Brown's references will lead you to a Conveyor Dynamics, Inc. (CDI) publications. The author (Ryan Lemmon) was an employee of CDI when developed. We allowed its publications to promote public access to one of many difficult and complex technical analyses.

Belt turnover stresses analysis are poorly developed by the manufacturers standards.

The CDI method does produce a method that was verified by our Finite Element Analysis techniques. It cannot be solved using any direct solution method. We therefore incorporated the method and a quick solution within BELTSTAT. This is one of many difficult solutions that are provided within our code.

Yes, Mr. Lemmon's belt twist or turnover is detailed in the Adi's reference paper. However, you cannot obtain the solution by any direct process. We suggest you have at it or contact CDI for other means to your needs. ■
