Compensation Systems for Low Temperature Applications

Download or read book Compensation Systems for Low Temperature Applications written by Balzej T. Skoczen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-07-21 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is dedicated to the behaviour of ductile materials at cryogenic temperatures, structural stability issues and reliability oriented parametric optimisation of compensation systems containing the corrugated bellows. The problems of local and global stability of systems containing bellows, coupling between the low-cycle fatigue and stability as well as evolution of plastic strain fields, micro-damage and strain induced phase transformation in the corrugated shells at cryogenic temperatures are presented. As a special feature reliability oriented optimum design of compensation systems under strength, stability, fatigue and geometrical constraints is discussed. The relevant applications in the particle accelerators and cryogenic transfer lines are shown.
