RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull depth calculator



This is EXCELLENT, I just ran it right away with no problems at all. Its great for calculating unstiffened cylinders, endcaps, and spheres. The big limitation is that in practice you will always want stiffeners in a cylinder unless its very short.
 
Thanks again, this little program is a beauty. Ray, you might want to read its disclaimers to see whether we can put it up on the site.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure hull depth calculator

This may be old news to some of you, but I found a great DOS program which models pressure hull stresses. Its a very simple way of determining design parameters for a given depth or visa versa.
 
this is the program:

this is a manual for a latter version, but it has lots of information which i found very useful:
