Abstract

A technique used for the fabrication of small models of large steel cylindrical shells constructed from many welded panels was discussed. The technique consits of two stages such as production of a high quality model with welding along the meridional seams and welding in the form of controlled heat input. A trial specimen was fabricated using the proposed technique, which provided the initial confirmation of the success of this technique. It is observed that the proposed technique could provide a feasible method for the production of realistic small-scale models of large cylindrical shells in steel silos and tanks.
