Abstract
Numerical model for the investigation of dynamics of a thermal vibro-transporter is proposed. The model is based on the one dimensional linear bar finite element and the stopping mechanism is being taken into account by the penalty method. Results of performed calculations of vibro-transportation are presented. From the presented results the effect of thermal vibro-transportation is clearly seen.
