Stability Characteristics and Mechanism of U-Shaped Metal Bellows under Symmetrical Cyclic Tension and Compression Process

The U-shaped metal bellows expansion joint compensates for the pipeline displacement by its own deformation. The compensation performance of the metal bellows in the initial stage of tension and compression deformation is unstable. In this paper, the symmetrical cyclic tension and compression (SCTC)...
