Abstract

The thin cylindrical shaped shells undergo weight load failure leading to buckle the shape of shell which leads to the failure of the shell. The buckling failure can be determined by applying practical load analysis on the cylindrical shells. The present paper used three different materials such as Mild steel, Aluminium Alloy and Titanium alloy with the same dimensions such as radius, length and thickness are opted for conducting buckling simulation analysis on thin shells. The cylindrical shells are subjected to Axial Compression and Lateral Pressure at constant pressure. The buckling behavior of thin cylindrical shells subjected to the different loads and boundary conditions with buckling stresses are simulated using ABAQUS and compared with the obtained results. The optimum design of cylindrical shell and material can be determined from the failure of the cylindrical shell.

Keywords
