Everyone has access to the ABS rules for building and classing subs and can
then discuss design in a fashion that puts everyone on the same page. You
could start with Section 6 for instance, design the shell and do the
calculations and then reference the other codes. I'm not suggesting you
build a sub that totally adheres to ABS but this will give everyone
experience in defining all the variables (Like what exactly is the distance
of the centroid of the stiffener cross section alone to the closer shell
surface, ect ect.). I believe everyone's understanding of a Psub will
progress in a more effective manner, going from "uh, that would be cool" to
" hey, I want to know if it will really work and meet the cool factor too."
Coming up with real numbers and discussing or debating the real meanings
behind some of the, not so straight forward !
> verbage, in these standards (in my opinion) is what makes a real subman.
As this approach will provide the tools necessary in the collective design,
individuals can test their "secret" ideas as applicable in their personal
designs.
