Abstract

A certain thickness of two, three and four layers of axisymmetric finite element bellows model were built by Abaqus firstly. Then the axial stiffness and stress and strain distribution of multi U-shaped bellows were simulated by finite element analysis. The results showed that in the case of a constant thickness, with the increase of the number of layers of the bellows, the stiffness of the bellows would be significantly reduced, and in the case of large deformation, the overall stiffness of the bellows would change significantly and was divided into elastic stiffness and plastic stiffness.
