The dynamic impact loading has significant influence on the conveyor belts operation time. This paper focuses on the tensile properties of fabric conveyor belts subjected to the impact loading induced by dropping a hammer. The induced damage of the conveyor belt was inspected after the drop. The impact of the hammer simulated the belt stress at the chutes where the transported material falls onto the belt. The falling material usually damages the belt on its surface, i.e. the rubber cover layer that protects the b...
