Hi Slideruleera,
Many thanks for your respone, appreciated.
Yes I had conceived the same approach. However, I don't know what safety margin I am at and also our load will not be equally distributed.
Hence, I was hoping for some experience numbers.
Anyway, many thanks for your input.

Hi everybody,
We are working on the development of a subsea dredging vehicle. For the proposulsion of this machine we will make use of tracks.
For the dimensioning of these tracks we are looking for some reference values with regards to allowable bearing load for fully saturated sand.
This...
Dear All,
Thank you very much for your responses and sorry for my late response.
@Littleinch: can you indicate where you get the 2 x 10-5 mols / m2 sec value from?
The purpose is to keep the air in the vessel as long as possible. So we need to minimize the contact area.
We will likely do...
Hi All,
I face an engineering problem on which I cannot find an answer. Hence I was wondering whether someone on this forum could help me out.
Please find below our situation. Lets image we have a cylindrical vessel with an open bottom. This vessel is submerged in seawater. This situation is...
Hi Monkeydog,
Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the fact that these are called nested bellows. However, so far we didn't find a company that could produce these bellows at these dimensions. Also, therefore we are in need to develop such a manufacturing procedure ourselves.
Anyone knows...
Hi,
We are looking for a production method that would allow us to produce metal bellows with special contours. See attached images. The bellows we intend to make will have a diameter of about 2100 mm and a height of 2750 mm. Material thickness will be in the order of 1 mm. Material will be...
Dear all
I´m currently working on the design of a subsea apparatus which should be able to I) drill a hole of about 50 - 60 mm (diameter) in granite, II) place an anchor (a T-bolt or a rock bolt (mechanical or friction type)) and, III) fixate the anchor (by for example grouting or by fixating...
