Fuzzy optimum design for belt conveyor driven by multipoints-linear friction

Taking the travelling speed V, the width B of the conveyingbelt, the space Lg of the supporting roller, and the auxiliarylength LI and numbers of the multi-points-linear frictiondriving belt conveyor as design variables, and the price ofconveyor belt and the general power of motor as aim functions,the autbors apply the fuzzy theory to optimizing design formulti-points linear friction driving belt conveyor.
