A simple analytical theory for the preliminary structural design of submarine
Abstract: An Underwater Vehicle (UV) is designed to function underwater and range from an Autonomous UV to a submarine. The main difficulty that UV designers face is minimizing the weight of the pressure hull to maximize payload and propulsion velocity while reducing construction cost and time by employing appropriate material and design approaches. Herein, we examine applications geared toward submarines as well as the creation and development of an analytical model …
