Abstract

Cylindrical structure is widely used in engineering industry such as automotive, oil and gas, aeronautical etc. Cylindrical structure also saves the occupant of vehicles from axial collision by converting the kinetic energy of crash into another form of energy to minimize the impact of accident toward the occupants. This work presents a study on cylindrical shell under axial crushing through experimental approach to identify the energy absorption capacity. Mild steel cylinder shell was fabricated with three different diameters that are 80 mm, 100 mm and 120 mm and all specimen height is 100 mm. The crosshead speed used in this experiment is 1 mm/min, 10 mm/min and 20 mm/min. This experiment is to identify the effect of crosshead speed on energy absorption capacity of mild steel. The entire specimen will be tested under axial loading using Universal INSTRON machine.
