<DIV>The DeepWorker stainless dome retainer straps can’t be ‘wound tight’ – they
go to a central UHMW hub just to put an even load on the acrylic hemi. The
retaining straps are there to prevent the dome from burping or blowing off if
the sub were to develop a high internal pressure that was unrelieved because of
failure or damage to the over pressure vent. An unlikely event, but I did have a
dome blow partly off in the early prototype ‘Sea Urchin’ many years ago. This
was just upon hitting the surface with a relatively small overpressure. That was
the last time I dove a sub without dome retainers. The water, she come in very
fast! It was during a shoot for a show called ‘Frontier Man’ – I
think it’s still on Youtube somewhere. </DIV>

<DIV class=yiv3221434423h5><BR clear=none>Hank - the force developed is
dependent on the<BR clear=none>stiffness of both the bolt material and of the
specimen<BR clear=none>you're pushing on. You can't necessarily
equate<BR clear=none>this directly to torque because of friction in the
bolt<BR clear=none>threads and at the bolt end contact, and of course the<BR
clear=none>elasticity of the bolt itself. You can only estimate it. <BR
clear=none>There are many online tools for calculating the developed<BR

clear=none>consider only the bolt as the deformable element, and<BR

UNC 2A thread is 8 threads per<BR clear=none>inch, so a set number of turns
will give you the approximate<BR clear=none>axial displacement (0.125" per
revolution - approximate<BR clear=none>because the bolt will change length
under load). If you<BR clear=none>assume a rigid fixture, then your strain is
equal to the<BR clear=none>overall change in length (calculated from # of bolt
turns),<BR clear=none>divided by the gauge length (distance over which the
length<BR clear=none>change occurs, which would be the length of your
specimen<BR clear=none>measured between the rigid fixture and the end of your
jack<BR clear=none>bolt). Compressive or tensile load is then calculated
based<BR clear=none>on the modulus of elasticity of the specimen. <BR
clear=none>Alternatively, you can measure the load (make the bolt or<BR
