A study of dynamic buckling behavior (experimentally and numerically) under increasing load has been conducted on medium carbon steel (CK35) specimen. 24 specimens were tested under compression loading, 12 specimens are long and others are intermediate. All these specimens were tested under four shot peening times (SPT) (0, 15, 25, 30) minutes. It was concluded that the best buckling behavior was appeared at (25 min) SPT and the comparison between the experimental and numerical results showed good agreement between these results.

Keywords: shot peening time, buckling behavior, dynamic load, CK35 steel alloys.
