Belt conveyors are used in numerous in-house logistics systems. It is necessary to know properties of these conveyor belts for their effective functioning. This work is focused on research forces applied in conveyor belt during contact with rollers and reversing drum according to the different material properties of conveyor belt. For this purpose was created simulation computational model by Abaqus. Effects of the material properties on the forces in the longitudinal and transverse directions were studied by this model. In the model were observed correlation between material properties of the conveyor belt and its tension-strain states in place of the first and second roller stool, at the site of reverse drum and places of troughing transformation of conveyor belt.
