Abstract
The rubber belt for CVT in scooter is subjected to complex loadings, because the CVT performs as the variable speed device and as the power transmission. Therefore, various loads affects the CVT rubber belt, and the failure mechanism becomes complex. Therefore, there are many unclear points on the fatigue failure initiation and extension. In this study, the fatigue test is carried out under various conditions, and the failure mechanism of the CVT rubber belt is discussed.
