And the final moments
What is a ‘catastrophic implosion’?
Most, if not all, submersibles and submarines operating at depth have a pressure vessel made of a single metallic material with high yield strength. This is typically steel for relatively shallow depths , or titanium for deeper depths. The Titan, however, was different. It’s pressure vessel was made of a combination of titanium and composite carbon fibre. This is somewhat unusual from a structural engineering perspective since, in a deep diving context, titanium and carbon fibre are materials with vastly different properties.Article content
We can only speculate about what happened with the combination of these two technologies, which do not dynamically behave the same way under pressure.
