In recent times, the utilisation of marine composites in tubular structures has grown in
popularity. These applications include composite risers and related SURF (subsea …

Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are increasingly popular in marine applications, such as
boats, offshore wind-power installations, as well as oil and gas offshore systems thanks to …

A study of the durability of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in seawater and warm
environment is presented in this paper. The major objective of the study is to evaluate the …

The long-term durability of E-glass/epoxy and E-glass/polyurethane composites in seawater
environment were investigated. Samples were conditioned for ninety months (7.5 years) in …

Adhesive durability and joint reliability, strictly related to the bonding agents, are key
parameters still under evaluation in civil as well as in other engineering fields. Moisture …

The present experimental investigation aims to investigate the effect of salt-fog exposition on
the mechanical behaviour of composite/metal riveted joints. To this aim, two kinds of joint …

This paper houses the effect of sea water immersion on glass fibre reinforced polymer
(GFRP) composites. The major sources of interest are study of sea water absorption …

The results of the experimental analysis carried out on the glass/textile fabric reinforced
hybrid composites under normal condition and sea water environments have been reported …

Recently, natural fiber reinforced biocomposites have received widespread attention due to
their application in automotive, construction, industrial, and other commercial markets. Their …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preload moment, moisture and
interference-fit on bearing strength and failure mode in pin-jointed and bolted carbon–epoxy …
