Abstract

The square plate is commonly use in many structural design especially in mechanical structure. This shape is being studied further to find out it suitability as energy absorption device in order to minimize the impact of the collision. The energy absorption device is a material that absorbs the kinetic energy during the collision which is the structure is designed on the mechanical structure elements that are risk in collision. The collision is always occurring in the transportation system and gives the negative impact that causes from this collision. So, the energy absorbing device plays an important function to at least minimize the impact of the collision. The square plate from mild steel is chosen and prepared to perform the hardness test to find it mechanical properties and structure. Then, the tensile test is performed in order to find out the mechanical properties. These properties are used in the theoretical calculation and ABAQUS analysis. The theoretical analysis is about to find out the value of buckling load. This value is compared with the experimental value which is compression test. From the test, the experimental value of buckling load and elastic strain energy is obtained. The value of this buckling load will be compare with the theoretical value. The ABAQUS analysis is performed in order to analyze the buckling of the plate graphically.
