Missing Titanic sub occupants dead, pieces of vessel found, Coast Guard announces

The U.S. Coast Guard offered their deepest condolences to the families of the passengers aboard a Titanic-exploring submersible after debris from the sub was found on the sea floor. The debris was "consistent with a catastrophic event" suffered by the pressure chamber of the sub. Jericka Duncan anchored CBS News' special report.

As a long time enthusiast of Titanic, it both boggles my mind and chills me to the bone knowing that five people, who were also captured by the allure of Titanic, lost their lives at her wreck site.

[@divermike8943]

I am amazed to learn that this submersible's pressure hull is made of carbon fiber composite materials and not steel, which is far more predictable for fatigue properties. In fact, steel has an endurance limit. This is a level of stress at which fatigue failure does not develop no matter how many load cycles are applied. Titanium also has an endurance limit. . Aluminum has no endurance limit. It will always fatigue at any stress level given enough cycles. Likewise for carbon composite materials. Basically, aluminum and composite parts get weaker every time you stress them. That is why aircraft are tested for hours and hours and days and days of fatigue cycles to prove that fatigue doesn't occur before you think it will. Often you keep going until you do get a fatigue failure just to be certain where and when it will happen. Did Oceangate do any of this prolonged fatigue testing? IDK. Granted part of the pressure hull was titanium but it also depended on the composite materials for strength, otherwise, why was it there.

My navy ship being made entirely of aluminum.....they really want us dead don't they?

[@saschalarch8710]

As an Aerospace Engineer (and experienced scuba diver with >1300 logged dives) I cannot understand how anyone can make such a vessel out of CFRP that is loaded with EXTERNAL pressure! This is the most stupid thing one can do! Carbon fibers are a good choice for parts that are exposed to tensile stress, but a submersible is exposed to pressure stress. In such a load case, the fiber does not hold anything! It is the matrix (the resin) that takes the loads! And resin is the last thing you would use to withstand the loads of a 4000m dive. Building a deep sea submersible This way is pure stupidity!

[@timlolxP]

@@ygs497 It's a matter of planning and simulation. All vessels and planes have a limited lifetime. For a navy ship, I would guess that lies between 30-50 years depending on the type, after that, the hull is worn out. On modern ships you have stress monitoring of vital parts, so you can predict more accurately when something fails or is damaged.
