You should watch the initial interviews with James Cameron. He explains 1) composite hulls have a finite number of compression cycles before they fail, typically less than 10 (this was dive #7 give or take, I forget the exact numbers) and 2) no composite material is perfect, the water pressure will find imperfections and work it's way into the material, causing weak points Steel is a significantly better material for this task. I'm stunned they even considered carbon fiber. |
