Installation and repair of hydraulic installations
are carried out by joining the pipes in the field. Pipe connections in aviation
are made in a very narrow space and field. For this reason, fitting swaging
method is used to connect the fittings to the pipes with a hydraulic hand tool.
The basis for developing a swaging tool is knowledge of the design parameters
for the plastic deformation of the swaging circle fitting. In addition to the
design parameter, pipes have to be joined in cryogenic vacuum conditions, which
require sealing in such sensitive and harsh conditions.
In this study, the effect of swaged
circle fitting designs on tightness and strength was determined and different
swaging methods were examined for its improvement. Different geometric swaged
circle fittings are designed and analytical and numerical models are solved.
The solution results obtained show the characteristic effect of the fitting
swaging analysis methodology and the swaged circle fitting design on the
sealing of the pipe joint. The innovation is mainly the effect of the swaging
circle connection design on the sealing of the pipe joint. With the finding in
this work, it is now possible to develop or develop new tools for engineered
swaging circle fitting.
