Design and Testing of a Composite Pressure Hull for Deep Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

This paper outlines the design and testing process of the hull of a deep small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), rated at 2000m depth. Many existing AUV pressure housings use aluminum or other isotropic traditional metals, instead of composites due to the complexities of the design of composites...
