Abstract
The use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the pressure hulls of submersible vehicles is examined with reference to material and fabrication options, alternative structural configurations, evaluation of stresses, deformations and buckling behaviour and other aspects of design. The performance of FRP is contrasted with that of steel and light alloy construction. Reference is made to two illustrative trial designs, one corresponding to a manned submersible for shallow-water operation and the other to a deep-water autonomous underwater vehicle.
