Abstract

The paper reports on experimental tests carried out on nine hemi-ellipsoidal domes which were tested to destruction. The domes were subjected to uniform hydrostatic pressure on their concave surfaces and because of this, they were called dome 'cups'. The tests showed that these dome cups were structurally more efficient than their equivalent conventional domes, where because the latter were subjected to uniform pressure on their convex surfaces, could buckle inefficiently.

Theoretical analyses were also carried out via the finite element method.

The report concludes that the use of dome cups in submarine pressure hulls provides a much cheaper and simpler alternative to conventional pressure hull domes.
