Ocean Engineering Studies. Volume 3. Acrylic Windows. Short-Term Pressurization

Abstract

Volume 3 of the Ocean Engineering Series is a compilation of four technical reports that focus exclusively on the critical pressures of acrylic windows under short-term pressurization. Three different window shapes are discussed in these reports: flat disc, conical frustum, and spherical shell. Since the structural properties of acrylic plastic are not a function of material thickness, the critical pressures of scale-model acrylic windows described in these reports apply to windows of any size.
