    How to Reduce Hydraulic Pressure Variation?

    Hello All, What should I add to the hydraulic circuit to reduce the pressure variation? We are running an endurance test of a component using hydraulic pressure ideally ramping from 0 psi to 1030 psi and back to 0 psi over the course of 30 seconds to complete a cycle. The peak pressure is...

    Metal Bellows FEA - Squirm/Flip

    Hello Everyone, We are trying to solve a couple of problems (with FEA) that occasional occur with welded metal bellows. One is called squirm (a type of column instability caused primarily by ID pressure) and flip (where a convolution of the bellows changes orientation during loading (pressure...

    Wrinkled/textured metal surface after test.

    Hello all, Upon testing some electro-polished metal test specimens, axially and in tension, the smooth electro-polished surface changes dramatically to a wrinkled or textured surface, why? I can't seem to find anything that explains this effect on the internet, including academic papers and...
