Crazy... but good to know they are trying to find nefarious suspects. 7 minutes ago, spin_dry said: Agreed. The US navy has listening devices everywhere. They also know the signature of underwater sounds. The Navy has already acknowledged they heard the implosion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metals can take some stress and flexing without weakening. Carbon fibre can’t. If it flexes at all it severely weakens and shatters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never worked with structural carbon fiber but it looks like ultrasound is one of the checks to be used to check the integrity of it. Wonder if it was checked and if they did find some areas if it was checked after each dive? Or did they have other test for structural integrity? Just looking at some videos of how this was manufactured the titanium retaining rings for the titanium end caps were bonded to the outside of the carbon fiber center section. To structurely support the carbon fiber center they could have been piloted on the inside of the carbon fiber center section. This would have supported the center section at the bonding point. Piloting on the outside enabled the carbon fiber center section to collapse inward of the retaining rings. With that did the carbon fiber structure fail or the bonding method? Oh boy this is brings bad memories of failure analysis reports I use to have to write. Edited June 24, 2023 by Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another forum I'm on pointed out it should have been a minimum 1/1 ratio, so 5" of engagement is what it should have had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
