Modeling and performance analysis of convoluted air springs as a function of the number of bellows

•A novel modeling method for convoluted air springs is proposed to estimate the vertical stiffness.•Both the effects of bellow’s tensile deformation and the asymmetric structural features are considered in the proposed model.•The proposed model is fully solved and derived to a unified model as a fun...
