Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of uneven length on the buckling behavior of truncated cone subjected to axial compression. This research work involves seven samples of cone with different wave number that were fabricated using 1mm mild steel sheet. SolidWorks software was used to draw the model of truncated cone in 2D drawing. The drawing was imported to the FlowPath software while water-jet machine was used to cut the mild steel sheet into seven samples of truncated cone. The seven samples undergone rolling and welding processes to form truncated cones. Axial compression test on seven truncated cones were done using universal testing machine. The research conducted was to compare experimental and numerical results. Two specimens with wave number of four were fabricated to ensure the repeatability of data obtained. The experimental and numerical results of seven samples had the average similarity of 1.094 out of 1.000. The results data on the effect of uneven length were presented in this report. The experiment results indicated that the increasing of wave number will strengthen the truncated cone from buckle.
