What is used in the making of supersonic airplane wings and artificil joints for bones modern submarine hulls?
titanium
World War 2 submarine bow and modern submarine bows?
WWII boat shaped bows; nuclear subs have cigar shaped hulls.
Is the element aluminium used in modern submarine hulls?
Most western countries use a special steel alloy that is designed to withstand not only the high pressures experienced when submerged but also the constant changes in pressures experienced when operating at different depths. The composition of the alloy is a military secret. China uses glass-reinforced plastic and Russian uses titanium to manufacture the hulls of their submarines.
What are the 4 types of keels?
There are two different elements to a keel. They are the hydrodynamic element and the structural element. In layman terms, the keel is the backbone. There many different hulls. When you speak of hulls, you have displacement hulls, semi-displacement hulls or planing hulls. Hulls come in different shapes like moulded or hard chined or simply chined.
What element Used in the making of supersonic airplane wings aritficial joints for bones and submarine hulls?
Titanium and alminium are both useful for these tasks, as they have high melting pointsand don't easily corrode.
How did a submarine start?
the very first submarine was made in the revolutionary war and was designed to drill through the hulls of british ships and plant bombs but it failed all of its missions
What is a submarine built out of?
Most submarine hulls are built of steel. Recall that a submarine is not usually considered one of the little robotic undersea machines, or a manned vessel that is operated off a support vessel. We usually reserve the term for the military submarines (boats) that put to sea for extended periods of independent operation. The Russians built a few hulls from titanium, but these boats were horrendously expensive and in so many ways were not cost effective. The lion's share of modern military boats are steel hulls with steel decks (on special supports) and filled with tons of equipment built largely of steel or other metal alloys. The modern nuclear submarines include the reactor, which has a steel pressure vessel and steel plumbing pretty much throughout the ship.
What was a ww1 submarine made out of?
Although the alloy composition has of course changed over the years to provide for more flexibility, submarines of WWI were pretty much made of the same stuff that modern boats are today; good old steel. Today's submarine hulls (most nations) are made of a flexible steel that contracts and expands with sea pressure, making for a much longer hull life. Some countries, such as China, use GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic (fiberglass) for their hulls, and others like Russia, use titanium for their pressure hulls. There are advantages and disadvantages to each material.
What type of submarine can cope with high pressures?
All submarines are built to withstand repeated trips to deep depths, encountering high atmospheric pressures. However, no submarine is without a limit, and in general it's the vessel's construction design and material that determines its crush depth. That's why modern submarine hulls have cigar or teardrop shaped hulls - the spherical design is the strongest (think of an egg). The strongest alloy for submarine use, titanium, is used by the Russians, though it has its limits. Since it doesn't flex like other boats that use flexible steel alloys that contract and expand with depth changes, their hulls become brittle and more vulnerable over time. The best design for extreme depths are used by submersibles. While you typically will see a streamlined craft, in actuality the crew compartment is usually a sphere, which again, is the strongest shape for extreme pressures.
Why might a submarine be crushed if it sinks too low in the ocean?
Submarine hulls are subject to sea pressure, and that pressure increases the deeper the submarine goes. There are design limits to the amount of pressure that a hull can take, and if that pressure is exceeded by diving too deep, the hull will fail and will be crushed.
What is the name of the first submarine launched by the US navy?
The first submarine was called the Turtle or American Turtle. It was a one man submarine and powered like a bicycle. It was designed to attach explosive devices to the hulls of British ships. All such attempts failed.
What has the author Thomas J Kiernan written?
Thomas J. Kiernan has written: 'Predictions of the collapse strength of three HY-100 steel shperical hulls fabricated for the oceanographic research vehicle Alvin' -- subject(s): Hydrostatic pressure, Submersibles, Alvin (Submarine), Hulls (Naval architecture)
