Abstract

This research aims to study the combined load on the buckling behaviour of cone-cylinder transition subjected to axial compression and thermal compression.This research work involves twelve samples of cone-cylinder transition with different cases that were fabricated using 1mm mild steel sheet.SolidWorks software was used to draw the model of cone and cylinder in 2D drawing.The drawing was imported to the FlowPath software while water-jet machine was used to cut the mild steel sheet into twelve samples of cone and cylinder.The twelve samples were undergone rolling and welding processes to form cone-cylinder transition.Axial compression test and thermal compression on twelve cone-cylinder transition were done using universal testing machine.The research conducted was to compare experimental and numerical results.Two specimens with each case were fabricated to ensure the repeatability of data obtained.The results data on the combined load on the buckling behaviour of cone-cylinder transition were presented in this report. The experiment results indicated that the increasing of temperature will reduce the strength of the cone-cylinder from buckle.
