| Abstract: | Conceptual design of hybrid composite with metal liner for underwater
application is presented in this study. Main objective of this concept is to
reduce the total weight of underwater vehicle, while improving its strength
characteristic. In this design, polymer composite is used as load bearing
structure and metal liner has been introduced to prevent leakage from occurring
within the system and also acts as a heat emission component. The main
application of this concept is a compartment of pressure hull for electronic
component and power system, as well as heat emission agent. This paper
comprehensively discussed the design parameters, material properties, pressure
hull design and fabrication of the design concept. It was suggested that E-glass/DER331
system and stainless steel were the preferable materials. It is also proposed
that the system should be able to operate up to 200m depth. |
