The implosion of underwater composite structures is a critical and complex engineering problem, necessitating high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant materials for deep-sea applications. This manuscript reviews the intricate failure mechanisms of composite structures, focusing on cylindrical structures under extreme underwater conditions. The recent Titan submersible implosion serves as a case study, highlighting the significance of rigorous design considerations. Key topics include material degradation, buckling instability, and material failure, with a detailed analysis of composite layup optimization and manufacturing processes such as filament winding and roll wrapping. The manuscript underscores the need for comprehensive testing, advanced simulation techniques, and monitoring system integration to ensure the safety and effectiveness of composite pressure hulls. Future research should focus on developing more accurate failure models, optimizing manufacturing processes, and enhancing material properties through innovations in composite science to realize the full potential of composite materials in deep-sea applications.
