This paper addresses the multi-objective, design variables discrete problem of river boat
profile structure optimization. The study considers not only the economic performance but …

A composite-to-steel butt-joint applied to joining large composite sandwich panels to steel
ships is studied and its design is improved based on numerical simulations combined with …

Multidisciplinary global shape optimization requires a geometric parameterization method
that keeps the shape generality while lowering the number of free variables. This paper …

In this paper, structural design and analysis of a composite boat hull was performed. A resin
transfer molding manufacturing method was adopted for manufacturing the composite boat …

Abstract Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) are widely used to manufacture small ship
hulls. However, these materials do not use renewable resources, and natural-fibres …

Natural fibres exhibit improved sustainability and similar mechanical properties to E-glass.
However, for laminates there is a larger difference in properties and limited assessments of …

Optimisation has become a necessary tool when designing competitive high-performance
composite yachts. The inherently complex material characteristics of composite materials …

In this study, we attempt to reduce the weight of a composite-yacht hull (without material
changes), while retaining structural safety, by developing design processes to determine the …

The objective of this study is to analyses the Agave Cantula Roxb tensile and bending
strength. The analysis was further done to observe the sustainability utilization the Agave …

In the building of polymer-based composite high-speed marine vehicles, the designer has
many more options than when building with equivalents of this material. The designer is …
