dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study is to elucidate as much as possible the theory and analysis of BOURDON tubes. Both thick-walled and thin-walled tubes are considered. Three papers, representative of the state-of-the-art of BOURDON tube analysis, are reviewed (References 1, 2, and 6): <p> 1. Wuest, W. "Theory of High-Pressure BOURDON Tubes". </p><p> 2. Andreeva, L. E>, "Elastic Elements of Instruments" </p> <p> 3. Dressler, R., "Elastic Shell-Theory Formulation for BOURDON Tubes" </p><p> Reanalysis of (3) above, with a different approach (Appendix A) checked and completed the general formulation by Dressler. The final forms of all necessary equations, boundary conditions, etc. to the solution of the three governing equations of the BOURDON tube with an elliptical cross-section are given. </p><p> Comparison of results of Andreeva's sensitivity equation with test data of Kardos, Mason and Exline (References 3, 4 and 5) using a qualitative approach as set out by Kardos (References 3 and 17) showed good correlation. </p><p> The study concludes with recommendations for the approach of future research and preliminary design procedures for BOURDON tubes. </p> | en_US |
