In accordance with trends in modern industry, in [16], the authors propose the virtual prototype technology thereby providing a new way for the safety analysis and design of the belt conveyor. The authors believe that virtual prototyping enables dynamic analysis of belt conveyor and provides proper knowledge about the belt tension during acceleration and deceleration, thus preventing belt rupture, coal vibration, belt slip on the drive pulley, uncontrolled running of the belt conveyor, belt fire and other accidents due to ruined safety.

Fourier transform of noise [S.sub.X] (t, x) can be decomposed into the noise from belt conveyor, [B.sub.X] (f, x), the noise from belt pulley, [P.sub.X] (f, x), and the noise from driving motor, [M.sub.X] (f, x), in terms of frequency, f, and position, x, as shown in (2).
