This second volume examines practical considerations pertinent to the design and construction of marine structures, including boats, submersibles, offshore structures and other deep-ocean installations. These volumes will provide an up-to-date comprehensive introduction and reference to this important and fast-growing area.
Table of contents:
1. Introduction; 2. Design of displacement craft; 3. Design of dynamically supported craft; 4. The role of adhesives; 5. Practical design of joints and attachments; 6. Production of ships with single skin structures; 7. Production of yacht hulls of sandwich configuration; 8. Materials case study - failures and their repair; 9. Response of sandwich structures to slamming and impact loads; 10. Fatigue characteristics; 11. Composites in offshore structures; 12. Regulatory aspects in design; 13. Quality and safety assessment; 14. Design management and organisation; Appendix.
The work comprises two volumes which, provide a comprehensive guide to the marine use of composite materials. This second volume examines practical considerations pertinent to the design and construction of marine structures, including boats, submersibles and offshore structures.
A detailed introduction to practical aspects of the marine use of composites.
