GS07 An examination on evaluation of behaviors of multi-ply bellows
Details
Multi-ply bellows is widely used because its flexibility and pressure tightness. However, the analytical treatment of its behaviors is difficult compared with that of single-ply bellows, since the uncertainty of friction between plies exists. In this paper the strength evaluation equations of multi-ply bellows are examined based on EJMA Standard and the friction effect between plies is investigated through FEM analyses including material plasticity.
