%0 Journal Article %T Investigation and calculation of the durability of sideflexing polymer chains %A Auerbach %A Peter %A Nendel %A Klaus %J Logistics Journal : Referierte Ver£¿ffentlichungen %D 2006 %I WGTL Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft fuer technische Logistik %X The article describes the results of fatigue tests with sideflexing polymer chains conducted on a dynamic testing machine and in testing conveyors. A new approach is suggested, that allows a calculatory estimation of the fatigue life of these chains. Finally, a calculation-software is presented, that has been developed based on the test results and the new equations. %K WGTL %K Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft f¨¹r Technische Logistik %K elogistics journal %K Prof Michael ten Hompel %K Universit t Dortmund %K Uni Dortmund %K Logistik %K Logistics %K Materialfluss %K Material flow %K Universitaet Dortmund %K Intralogistics %K intra logistics %K intra-logsitics %K Intralogistik %K technische Logistik %K ISSN 1860-7977 %K Belastungsmodells %K FEM-Analyse %K Spannungsverteilung %K Gleitketten %K F rderstrecke %K Gleitb gen %K Klaus Nendel %K Peter Auerbach %K Technische Universit t Chemnitz %K TU Chemnitz %U http://www.logistics-journal.de/archive/2006/604/auerbach_e.pdf
