Reword Explanation: It actually means "highly stressful", or something along those lines. But that's nonsense in an automobile context, so I'd handle it like this: "Dynamically (speaking), the load changeover (from starting to running) causes very high levels of stress (in the belt) (which must be taken into condieration)." Thing is, the starter drives the belt when the motor is being started, while the motor drives the belt once it is running. Therefore, it is in effect a load reversal which has to be taken into account when the belt is designed. Hope this helps, though I think someone else may well be able to put this in better technical terms. |
