Marine Composites: Design and Performance presents up-to-date
information and recent research findings on the application and use
of advanced fibre-reinforced composites in the marine environment.
Following the success of their previously published title: Marine
Applications of Advanced Fibre-reinforced Composites which was
published in 2015; this exemplary new book provides comprehensive
information on materials selection, characterization, and
performance. There are also dedicated sections on sandwich
structures, manufacture, advanced concepts, naval architecture and
design considerations, and various applications. The book will be
an essential reference resource for designers, materials engineers,
manufactures, marine scientists, mechanical engineers, civil
engineers, coastal engineers, boat manufacturers, offshore platform
and marine renewable design engineers.
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.
