Ocean Engineering Studies. Volume 4. Acrylic Windows. Long-Term Pressurization

Abstract

Volume 4 of the Ocean Engineering Series is a compilation of four technical reports that focus on the structural performance of acrylic windows, shaped as conical frustums, under long-term pressurization. The deformation and crack initiation are noted and recorded as a function of pressure magnitude and duration of loading. The pressure and duration of loading described in the reports apply directly to conical frustum windows of any size, with an identical t/Di ratio; while the displacements must be multiplied by a scale factor based on the ratio of minor diameters on the test and operational windows.
