Glad you like it. The way to get around the lack
of stiffener support is to subtitute the length between
stiffeners in place of the overall tube length. The software came
from Deepsea.com. Does anyone have the Windows version?
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.

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:
