In this paper, initial-boundary-value problems for a beam equation (with string effect) are considered. These problems can be used as simple models to describe the vertical vibrations of a conveyor belt, for which the velocity is small with respect to the wave speed. In this paper, the belt is assumed to move with a time-varying velocity V(t) = epsilon(V-0 + alpha sin(Omegat)). Formal asymptotic approximations of the solutions are constructed to show the complicated dynamical behaviour of the belt. Complicated dynamical behaviour of the belt system occurs when the frequency Omega is the sum or difference of any two natural frequencies of the system with zero belt velocity. For special values of the belt parameters these sum type and difference type of internal resonances coincide giving rise to even more complicated dynamical behaviour. Some examples (including detuning cases) have been studied in detail. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
