Abstract
This paper focus on the optimum design of the arc-shaped rubber hose, so that the hose has a good balance performance and a higher burst pressure. Based on the thin shell theory without considering bending moments and shear force, the equilibrium equation was established to obtain the internal force of the arc-shaped hose under internal pressure, and the burst pressure of the arc-shaped rubber hose was obtained by using Tsai-Hill failure criterion. According to the mechanical model of burst pressure, the influence of structural parameters on the burst pressure and distribution of vulnerable positions of arc-shaped rubber hose was studied. Then, in order to determine the structural parameters of the hose satisfying the balance performance, the deformation of the arc-shaped rubber hose was divided into two stages, including braiding angle deflection and tensile deformation of fiber, and the mechanical model of balance performance of the arc-shaped rubber hose was established. Eventually, on the basis of satisfying the balance performance of the hose, the hose was optimized for higher burst pressure. The correctness of the theoretical model and the optimization results were verified by experiments.
