A Mathematical Model Used In Conjunction With A Finite Element Analysis To Aid In The Design And Analysis Of Bourdon Tubes, R. C. Weber, Robert L. Davis

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A mathematical model that describes a variety of Bourdon tube geometries has been used for the three-dimensional analysis of Bourdon tubes. The variation of the stresses and tip deflections with respect to the variables used in the mathematical model are then presented as an aid in the design and analysis of the Bourdon tube. The finite element program represents a user-orientated package for calculation of tip deflections and stresses. Stresses and deflections are compared to both strain gage data and instrumented tip deflections as well as published data to establish the credibility of both the model and computer program. © …
