Composites are widely used in marine applications. There is
considerable experience of glass reinforced resins in boats and
ships but these are usually not highly loaded. However, for new
areas such as offshore and ocean energy there is a need for highly
loaded structures to survive harsh conditions for 20 years or more.
High performance composites are therefore being proposed. This book
provides an overview of the state of the art in predicting the long
term durability of composite marine structures. The following
points are covered: * Modelling water diffusion * Damage induced by
water * Accelerated testing * Including durability in design *
In-service experience. This is essential reading for all those
involved with composites in the marine industry, from initial
design and calculation through to manufacture and service
exploitation. It also provides information unavailable elsewhere on
the mechanisms involved in degradation and how to take account of
them. Ensuring long term durability is not only necessary for
safety reasons, but will also determine the economic viability of
future marine structures.
