I have been reading the discussion on drive design here and have gotten some of the books and found articles to read but have not found anything besides some brief discussion on Epi-Eng website about belt drives. I understand that a Polychain belt is a stiffness that attaches two other parts with inertias and frequency but cannot find how to connect the two. The articles I have found about geared reduction drives reduce their two different rotating parts to what they call an "equivalent system" where they calculate the speed ratios to create a model of their system. Is there something that explains design with a belt instead of gears?
