Calculating the hydrostatic pressure on a tube

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating hydrostatic pressure for a submarine project involving a perspex tube designed to be submerged to 100 meters. Key parameters include the tube's dimensions, material properties, and internal pressure. Participants suggest utilizing online engineering calculators and provide relevant resources for strength calculations related to pressure vessels. The original poster expresses gratitude for the helpful links, particularly one that meets their needs. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding deformation, critical pressure, and potential failure modes in design.

Hey guys.
I'm working on a submarine project and my goal is submerging it to 100m, but I'm having trouble calculating the parameters i need.
I'm working with a perspex tube (E is about 1.3Gpa), 26mm inside diameter and 30mm outside diameter. the tube X meters long with inside pressure of 1 atm.

I'd be happy if you guys could direct me to the right formulas (and how to derive them) for the deformation (ε), the critical pressure (Pc) and would it fail from buckling or by compression.

Thanks for the help! very much :)

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
