A project work was done within the time frame of January to December 2004 in Islamic University of Technology, Gazipur, Bangladesh. The main objective of this work is to design a Flexible Material Handling System (FMS) that can automatically synchronize its speed as per requirement. The system is designed for two types of conveyor system where the speed of the horizontal conveyor belt will be r...

We study a minimal model for the flow of granular material on a conveyor belt consisting of a staircase-like array of K vertically vibrated compartments. Applying a steady inflow rate Q to the top compartment, we determine the maximum value Qcr(K) for which a continuous flow through the system is possible. BeyondQcr(K), which depends on the vibration strength and the dimensions of the system, a...

given by (6) can successfully shorten the settling time of h e tracking control at different operation speeds. In our experimental setup the settling time is in the range of 0.50 N 0.65 s for the conveyor belt running between 9.43 N 26.60 c d s . As we have seen, this is a great improvement in the tracking control compared with that where no special care is taken to compensate for the feedback ...
