Dry hybrid belt is used for continuously variable transmission (CVT) of the automobile. It is a combination belt composed of tension members and many blocks. In this study, the mechanism of fatigue failure in the tension member was investigated to obtain a high performance CVT-belt. Especially, failure observation after fatigue test and bending deformation measurement of the tension member were carried out, and the mechanism of the fatigue in the tension member was discussed.
