61072 - Perspectives on Fatigue Design of Bellows 

In the past couple of decades there have been significant developments in the fatigue design approach for metallic bellows expansion joints.  For example, where there were previously separate fatigue curves for reinforced and unreinforced bellows, there is now only one fatigue curve.  This paper describes the developments over time and explains the technical reasons for the changes. The requirement for a minimum of 200 words is rediculous to the extreme.  j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j  jj j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j j j j j j j j jj j j j   why force people to put in a lot of unecessary text when something can be explained precisely j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
