Abstract

A Semi-Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (SAUV) capable of simple work at sea bed is under development in KRISO-KORDI. A pressure vessel of SAUV which is composed of FRP was manufactured to load electronic equipments. The objective of this paper is to verify the safety of the pressure vessel through conducting the structural analysis and test in pressure tank. Strain and stress under unit load were obtained by using ANSYS in the linear structural analysis. And local buckling analysis was performed with NASTRAN for the middle cylindrical hull. For the pressure test, strains were measured at three point. We found that the results by linear structural analysis and experiment are coincide well at the points where buckling does not occur. Maximum depth was estimated to be 250m by the local buckling analysis.
