Abstract

Pressure hull is an important part of an underwater glider, on which the study was designed to ensure that it has sufficient strength and stability, the smallest weight, as well as the maximum internal deployment of space and load capacity. In order to find the best initial design solution of the pressure hull, this paper analyzes the design process of underwater vehicle systematically. After the shape and material selection of the main body and end cover, structural analysis and size optimization of pressure shell for autonomous underwater glider carried out by the finite element analysis tool Ansys Workbench, and the simulation results paves the way for the pressure test verification.
