Abstract
An experimental investigation was carried out in which four dome cup ends w ere tested to failure under external hydrostatic pressure. The collapse pre ssures of the dome cup ends were compared with that of a conventional dome cap end. The investigation revealed that the dome cup ends were structurall y more efficient than the conventional dome cap ends. All the: vessels were made from the same batch of glass fibre matting and associated material. ( C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
