Technically, seawater density is a function of both temperature and salinity (and very slight compressibility), but the user just enters an average value for density. Similarly, the shell material properties can be tweaked from the average values that are programmed in as defaults, to accommodate specific known material test values or just for increased conservatism. The calculations are assumed to be valid for any material within transition temperature limits, but no specific attempt is made to model creep in acrylic or toughness transitions in shell materials at extremely low or high temperatures. This software is just an implementation of the formulas presented in the ABS Rules. Simply put, if seawater is still liquid at your operating temperature, you're probably okay. The lack of perfect determinism at failure is why we h! ave safety factors.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Sean<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>On November 14, 2014 2:50:52 PM MST, Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sean,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That is a very sexy programme you have there.
