Abstract: The finite element analysis of the composites conical shell are worked by the ANSYS finite element software in this paper,mean while,the conical shell axial compression test is worked by the mechanical testing machine. Establish the relationship between the finite element analysis and experimental research by comparing the finite element analysis and experimental results. The result indicated that the finite element analysis results consistent with experimental results to a certain extent. The finite element analysis can play a guild role in the experiment research.

Key words: composites conical shell, axial compression test, the finite element analysis
