The marine environment presents significant challenges for
materials due to the potential for corrosion by salt water, extreme
pressures when deeply submerged and high stresses arising from
variable weather. Well-designed fibre-reinforced composites can
perform effectively in the marine environment and are lightweight
alternatives to metal components and more durable than wood. Marine
Applications of Advanced Fibre-Reinforced Composites examines the
technology, application and environmental considerations in
choosing a fibre-reinforced composite system for use in marine
structures. This book is divided into two parts. The chapters in
Part One explore the manufacture, mechanical behavior and
structural performance of marine composites, and also look at the
testing of these composites and end of life environmental
considerations. The chapters in Part Two then investigate the
applications of marine composites, specifically for renewable
energy devices, offshore oil and gas applications, rigging and
sails. Underwater repair of marine composites is also reviewed.
