OceanGate, Inc. on Instagram: "While you’re enjoying your dive, observing marine life and collecting data, acoustic emission sensors mounted throughout Titan’s hull record how the carbon fiber is reacting to the changing pressure underwater. Consistent monitoring of this innovative manned submersible is essential to the future of carbon fiber pressure vessels and understanding the long-term effects of repeated dives to depth. This real-time monitoring system samples sound waves through the hull many times per second, providing incredible accuracy and allowing us to assess the health of the hull during the dive. Our extensive testing (and that of many researchers over the last 20 years) has shown that increased acoustic activity always occurs well before the structure fails. Problems such as damage during transportation or surface operations as well as potential damage from repeated cycles over many years can then be detected by the advanced system and the dive terminated well before the safety of the crew is threatened. Real-time hull health monitoring is a key safety feature of Titan. We do not dive if it is not operating.......#innovation #acousticemissions #engineering #dataanalytics #carbonfiber #monitoring #titan #realtimemonitoring #sensors #deepdives #submarine #submersible #dive #oceanexploration #explore #underwater #subsea" | Zootzle
