PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein a belt on which a plurality of V-blocks different in plate thickness are randomly assembled has harsh noises because of an insufficient forming into white noises. SOLUTION: Using a first V-block group A and a second V-block group B which are formed by mixing first V-blocks 31and second V-blocks 32at a different mixing ratio, the belt 1 is assembled. It has a lower dispersed noise level, as shown by a solid line, than a belt with the V-blocks randomly mixed, as shown by a broken line. The array of the V-blocks 31, 32are specified at the mixing ratio on a computer, and the optimum array of the V-blocks are determined as a result of its simulation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
