INTRODUCTION TO SAFETY FIGURE OF

SUBMARINE
SAFETY FACTOR 1.5(SF)
The strength needed to be for an intended load of a
system(bridges, building, etc.)
Involve of structural and mechanical engineering
Ratio of absolute strength to actual load
Measure of the reliability of a particular design
SF 1.5 usually applied on aircraft or spacecraft which is
depending on the application and materials
Submarines which are using higher SF such as SF 2.5
can dive deeper compare to SF 1.5 submarines, but only
in emergency condition.
SHOCK LOADS
Submarine is designed to withstand the loads
generated by underwater explosion
Underwater explosion--exp: mine explosions-pressure
generate by bursting of large underwater bubbles
OTHER LOADS
Submarine in surfaced condition is subjected to
longitudinal bending loads, transverse shear forces on
transverse structures, and torsional loads caused due
to wave action
The structure is designed that the vibrations caused by
local load(longitudinal and torsional vibrations) which
is caused by action of engine are well within the limits.
PRESSURE HULL
The cylindrical pressure hull is subjected to
longitudinal compressive stress
The longitudinal stress on pressure hull is used for
obtaining the required thickness of the hull
The scantlings of the stiffeners required to prevent
failure of the pressure hull of buckling.
Hydrostatic pressure at collapse depth is subjected by
the pressure hull also
