Abstract:Bellows pump has been widely used for chemical transportation with excellent elasticity and seal ability of the core component bellows. Nevertheless, for repeated alternating compression and expansion, bellows convolutions, that is, the maximum stress points, are at risk of fatigue rupture, which leaves a safety hazard for practical applications. Though a special bellows shape with non-constant wall thickness was proposed as an effective method to strengthen the convolutions, it also affects other characterist… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
