Advanced Engineering for Optimized Underwater Carbon Fiber Pressure Vessels

Through comprehensive engineering studies conducted in partnership with the Office of Naval Research, CET has developed advanced engineering models to optimize the performance and structural integrity of underwater carbon fiber pressure vessels. By leveraging cutting-edge materials science and computational analysis, these models are designed to predict how pressure vessels will perform under extreme deep-sea conditions, ensuring maximum durability and efficiency. To confirm the accuracy of these models, CET has subjected numerous pressure vessel designs to rigorous implosion and cycle tests at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) Hydrostatic Test Facility. This validation process, to deep-sea pressures, has thoroughly proven the reliability and precision of CET’s models, further solidifying our expertise in the development of high-performance marine technology.
