Shells for Underwater Vehicles
Abstract
The design criteria for underwater shells are discussed, and the basic shell designs are evaluated on the basis of these criteria. Internally pressurized shells and shell-pressurization methods are also discussed. It is recommended that research be directed toward development of higher-strength materials and improved fabrication methods. It is also recommended that fluids of lower compression and density be developed for shell pressurization.
