Pressurized Metal Bellows Shock Absorber for Space Applications.
… is used. To address these issues, a pressurized metal bellows shock absorber is proposed. This shock absorber could operate at nearly any expected spacecraft environment. Metal bellows are designed to operate from cryogenic temperatures to several hundred degrees Celsius. A hermetically sealed …

Welding fixture design for irregular profile metal bellows
… design is presented that can be used to weld Metal bellows of any shape. The bellows are made of thin stainless diaphragms welded together. Currently there is no established method for welding non-circular bellows that is both low cost and reliable. This thesis addresses some of the issues …

Fatigue Life Prediction of Edge-Welded Metal Bellows Using Neural Networks and Multiple Linear Regression
<p>Edge-welded metal bellows present an ongoing challenge: the prediction of an accurate cycle life. Current methods rely on physical leak detection to determine a bellow's cycle life to failure. It is known, however, that crack initiation begins many cycles before a leak path is present. Bellows …
