Abstract
As the space for installation of automotive exhaust system is limited, the space should be optimized with relation to the endurance and shape of the system. Geometric nonlinear analysis was used and deflection of bellows was assumed 6mm. Obtained results are as follows; (1) The Von-Mises stress of bellows is increased with increase of thickness or radius of bellows linearly. (2) As the principal stress varies according to the radius of convolution, it is necessary to decide the optimal radius of convolution.
