Vibration Analysis of Expansion Joint with Rotary Inertia Using Transfer Matrix Method

전달행렬법을 이용하여 회전관성을 고려한 Expansion Joint의 진동해석

Simplified formulae for axial and bending natural frequencies of bellows are developed using an equivalent thin-walled pipe model. The axial and bending stiffness of bellows is determined using lumped transfer matrix method. Accordingly, the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) formula for axial and bending stiffness calculation is modified using two different equivalent radii. The results from the simplified formulae are verified by those from a experiment result and a finite element (FE) model and good agreement is shown between the each other.
