I am designing a sub-sea HMI light housing. I want to use a glass dome (borosilicate?) mounted on an aluminum housing.
Does anyone know if glass responds to stress linearly? I know that acrylic does not respond linearly when used for a pressure housing, which is why i ask.
for general info: the dome will be about 5" diameter, see up to 350 deg F on the inside surface, 90 deg F outside, and up to 2000 psi (external). at 2000 psi, the temps will be much lower.
