## 5 Discussion  
The presented differential equation governing the movement of the oscillating conveyor mechanism [25] provides a comprehensive model for analyzing the system's dynamic behavior over time. Figure 11: A grid of 3D plots showing the behavior of \(Q(t)\) and \(R(t)\). Figure 12: A grid of 3D plots showing the behavior of \(W(t)\). Figure 10: A grid of 3D plots showing the behavior of \(N(t)\) and \(M(t)\). This model incorporates various parameters related to the mechanical system, such as resisting torque (\(M_{r}\)), driving torque (\(M_{d}\)), inertial moments (\(I_{S1}\), \(I_{S2}\), \(I_{S}F\), \(I_{6}G\)), and dynamic terms involving angular displacements (\(\varphi_{1}\), \(\varphi_{2}\), etc. ), angular velocities (\(\omega_{1}\), \(\omega_{2}\), \(\omega_{6}\)), and their corresponding time derivatives. The equation captures the interactions between the resistive and driving forces in the system and how these forces influence the motion of the mechanism. The system is subject to a variety of forces that are modeled through functions like \(A(t)\), \(H(t)\), \(Q(t)\), and \(W(t)\), which depend on the time-varying nature of the system's geometry, velocity, and other dynamic variables. Notably, the resistive torque \(M_{r}\) is modeled as a linear function of \(\varphi_{6}\), reflecting the physical behavior of the resisting torque as the angular position changes. Similarly, the driving torque \(M_{d}\) is affected by a damping term proportional to \(\omega_{1}\), which accounts for frictional or resistive losses in the system. These dynamic interactions influence the evolution of angular velocities and positions over time. The equation is solved using an approximate method, specifically an explicit finite difference approach, where the angular velocity \(\omega\) and angular displacement \(\varphi\) are computed at discrete time steps. This numerical integration method enables the prediction of system behavior over time based on initial conditions. The time step h and total simulation time \(T\) are key factors that influence the accuracy of the numerical solution. In this case, an initial angular displacement of \(\varphi_{0}=0\) and initial angular velocity \(\omega_{0}=0\) are used as starting conditions, and the system is modeled over the interval \([0,T]\). By iterating through the algorithm at each time step, we can track the evolution of angular velocities and displacements, providing insight into the system's stability and response to various forces. This approach is particularly useful for studying complex systems like oscillating conveyors [17], where analytical solutions are difficult to derive. Key observations:  
System damping--the model's inclusion of damping in the form of \(\alpha\) (a damping coefficient) highlights the importance of frictional forces in the system's behavior. The damping term, which is proportional to angular velocity \(\omega_{1}\), plays a significant role in regulating the amplitude of oscillations over time. This is crucial in understanding how the conveyor mechanism stabilizes and the rate at which it dissipates energy. Nonlinear dynamics--the nonlinear relationship between the angular velocities and torques, particularly in the form of \(\omega_{2}\) terms and the dependency of \(R(t)\) and \(Q(t)\) on time-varying functions, reflects the complex nature of the system's dynamics. These nonlinearities must be carefully accounted for when analyzing the system's behavior, especially in cases where large displacements or velocities occur. Sensitivity to initial conditions--the system's sensitivity to initial conditions, such as the starting angular displacement and velocity, indicates the importance of accurate measurements and control in real-world applications. The behavior of the system may vary significantly depending on the initial conditions, which highlights the need for precise calibration in practical implementations. Numerical stability and accuracy--the choice of time step \(h\) is crucial for the stability and accuracy of the numerical solution.
