A program has been initiated to provide the oceanographic community with a manned submersible with panoramic visibility for 2439 m (8000 ft) design depth. The first phase of the program is to validate the design of the acrylic plastic pressure hull utilizing model scale spheres with different diameters and thickness to inside diameter (t/Di) ratios. This papers summarizes 1) the criteria used in the design of the acrylic plastic hull for 2439 m (8000 ft) depth, 2) the experimental test plan for validation of the hull design, and 3) the fabrication, and short-term pressurization to destruction of the first scale model with an aluminum hatch. The 457-mm (18-in.) o.d. acrylic sphere with t/Di ratio of 0.2 successfully withstood 1-hr long pressurizations from 0 to 6.9, 13.8, 20.7, 27.6, 34.4 and 41.3 MPa (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 psi) followed by 1-hr long relaxation periods after each pressurization prior to imploding at 110.2 MPa (16,000 psi) under 4.5 MPa/min (650 psi/min) pressurization. The selected t/Di ratio 0.2 appears to exceed the design depth requirement for 2439 m (8000 ft).

AbstractAny pressure hull invariably has imperfections as a result of the manufacturing procedure. Imperfections in a spherical pressure hull are the basis for localized buckling and deformation behavior. Numerical analysis and analytical calculations are carried out to predict the buckling behavior and strength of a pressure hull made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) for both perfect and imperfect pressure hulls. Finite element analysis is carried out for different imperfection angles to see the effect on strength and buckling. Results of numerical analysis show that there is considerable reduction in both buckling pressure and strength as a result of imperfections. Hence, allowable deviation due to imperfection for a spherical pressure hull has to be considered for thickness calculations.Abbreviations:P  external pressure (Design pressure)Dm  mean diameter of the pressure hullRm  mean radius of the pressure hullRi  imperfect radius of the pressure hullt  thickness of the pressure hullΔR  imperfect deviationδ  imperfection angleσ  hoop stressPy  pressure at yield strength of the materialPb  buckling pressureE  Young’s modulus of the materialμ  Poisson’s ratioMSW  meters of sea waterAPDL  ANSYS Parametric Design Language
