An accessory drive system for an internal combustion engine includes a multi-ribbed belt and pulley system. Shear generators are machined, formed or molded and extend axially from the driving pulley's faces such that the shear generators expand the drive belt in a plurality of regions. The shear generators are formed as either spheroids projecting into the V of the V-pulley such that the spheroids extend from two faces of adjacent grooves at approximately the midpoint between the root and apex of the V, or as shifted circumferential grooves of a multi-ribbed pulley having a continuous wave pattern. These shear generators cause a plurality of localized high tension regions at the highest pressure zone of the belt/pulley friction interface, improving circumferential friction, and therefore torque capacity, with minimal effect on belt wear due to their smoothness.
