Application of Composite Materials to Large Marine Hatch Cover

Article Preview

Abstract:

A large number of laminates have been used in marine structures, such as small boat hulls, superstructures and propellers, etc. In this study, the using of composites in large scale marine hatch cover and comparison of strength, weight and cost between the conventional marine hatch cover and the composite hatch cover are investigated. The results show that the composite hatch cover is feasible and has great potential for future use because of its higher strength, lighter weight, super-corrosion resistance and economic.
