Rob,
Thank you for the replay.
My understanding is that the primary function of braided metal is to prevent axial extension of the bellows due to pressure load.Hoop stresses also will be there.So I am searching the following things:
1. Some kind of connector that satisfies my needs.
2. Model it...
Hi,
I would like to know the best way to model Braided hose in Abaqus.Hose consist of rubber with steel braid wrap.Internal pressure is acting on this hose.Is there any way to Calculate the stiffness of this Braided hose?Any method to do FE modelling will be highly helpful.
Regards,
Sreejm
