Undersea Pressure Vessel
Undersea Pressure Vessel
(OP)
I don't believe conventional pressure vessel design calculations are valid for composite cylinders exposed to high hydrostatic pressures, mainly due to the tendency of the fibres to buckle under compression. How should structural analysis be approached to establish the fibre type, wall thickness and fibre orientation ?

If you are considering a fibre re-enforced cylinder you would be wise to physically test if that is possible.

The Navy is very interested in composite submarines.
