[PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Thjis Hull FEA Update

[Warren Greenway <opensourcesub@yahoo.com>]

I have finished an FEA report for Thjis' hull concept.
Unfortunately I still am unable to flog my software
into
allowing me to run the simulation with viewports. I'll
keep trying. I should have the FEA report posted
tonight
or tomorrow. The results were to good to be true, I
must
be missing something. The summary claimed safe
pressures,
with a safety factor of 3, was 250 psi! The high
stress
area was right where the radius changed on the
endcaps.
All in all, though, it seems to withstand pressure
better
then the other hulls I have run, and has better stress
distribution.

Warren.
