  • Durability of Composites in a Marine Environment

    Edited by Peter Davies, Yapa D.S. Rajapakse ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    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 ... Read more
