Abstract
Residual stress is inevitable in the hydraulic-formed process of metal bellows. It is essential to consider the effect of residual stress on buckling behaviour of bellows in order to optimize the stability design. In this paper, a finite element model was developed to analyze the effect of residual stress on the axial buckling behavior of bellows under axial load and internal pressure. The model was validated by theoretical instability modes and formulas of bar system and cylindrical. The influence of residual stress on the buckling behaviour of bellows was discussed under different geometric shapes, material elastic modulus, and service temperatures. The results indicated that the critical instability load decreased under both applied axial load and combined load (axial and internal pressure load) when considering residual stress, while it increased under internal pressure loads. The reduction in axial load amplitude caused by residual stress increases with the increased elastic modulus and the decreased service temperature. The mechanism has been discussed and a pattern for optimizing design was proposed to enhance the stability and reliability of the bellows under complex conditions based on the established model.
期刊介绍:
Pressure vessel engineering technology is of importance in many branches of industry. This journal publishes the latest research results and related information on all its associated aspects, with particular emphasis on the structural integrity assessment, maintenance and life extension of pressurised process engineering plants.
The anticipated coverage of the International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ranges from simple mass-produced pressure vessels to large custom-built vessels and tanks. Pressure vessels technology is a developing field, and contributions on the following topics will therefore be welcome:
• Pressure vessel engineering
• Structural integrity assessment
• Design methods
• Codes and standards
• Fabrication and welding
• Materials properties requirements
• Inspection and quality management
• Maintenance and life extension
• Ageing and environmental effects
• Life management
Of particular importance are papers covering aspects of significant practical application which could lead to major improvements in economy, reliability and useful life. While most accepted papers represent the results of original applied research, critical reviews of topical interest by world-leading experts will also appear from time to time.
International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping is indispensable reading for engineering professionals involved in the energy, petrochemicals, process plant, transport, aerospace and related industries; for manufacturers of pressure vessels and ancillary equipment; and for academics pursuing research in these areas.
