Prediction of Depth-Induced Stress Distribution and Maintenance Cost Implications for Submerged Structural Components
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of water depth on stress distribution and structural integrity of submerged mechanical components . Structural models fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper alloy were examined under hydrostatic loading corresponding to water depths between 30 cm and 150 cm. Results indicate that normal and shear stresses increased proportionally with depth due to intensified hydrostatic pressure. Mild steel exhibited the highest stress concentrations, …

Evaluation of Metal Coupons Corrosions in Fresh Water Environment at Different Water Depths Using Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: This research addressed the effects of water depths and quality on corrosion of submerged metal structures in the water body considering environmental conditions. The depths considered were 30cm to 150cm. Four different metal coupons were selected (Mild Steel, Copper Steel, Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel] Galerkin`s finite element techniques was applied to evaluate the relationship between diffusion and weight loss, also velocity and weight loss at different water depths. The …
