        abstract = {Bellows are essential in industries like aerospace and automotive, absorbing mechanical movements, thermal expansion, and vibrations. This project focuses on the design and analysis of bellows using Solid Works for 3D modelling and ANSYS for Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Key aspects include:
Design in Solid Works: 3D models are created considering convolution shape, wall thickness, and number of convolutions.
Analysis in ANSYS: Includes Nonlinear buckling analysis, harmonic vibration analysis, thermal stress analysis is performed to evaluate stress distribution and deformation under various load conditions (pressure, axial, lateral, angular) .
Stainless steel and advanced alloys are chosen for properties like high temperature and corrosion resistance.},
