Обґрунтування раціональної конструкції блоків плавучості підводних апаратів

Characteristics of operation and destruction of the materials of buoyancy blocks of underwater vehicles have been considered. Water absorption, hydrostatic strength and structural heterogeneity of the material are singled out as the main factors determining the design features of buoyancy blocks. The impact of structural parameters of buoyancy blocks on the operational properties of syntactic foam is shown. Recommendations are given as for the adequate shape, size, positioning and fixation of buoyancy blocks made of syntactic foam.
