Floating Materials
Omschrijving
The maritime industry is showing increasing interest in fibre-reinforced thermosetting composites as construction material for professional maritime applications. Composites are already well known in the pleasure marine industry as building material for manufacturing boats and yachts. DAMEN also sees increasing potential for composites in vessels built for commercial applications. When moving from the pleasure cruising industry to professional maritime applications, clients, class societies and maritime engineers will request more detailed information about the engineering properties and design requirements of composite materials. The knowledge base for developing composite products in commercial shipbuilding is currently being developed in a joint industry project called FLIGHT (Fast LIGtweight Hull Technology). This is a joint effort between TU Delft, Bureau Veritas, Lightweight Structures, Teijin, DSM and Damen Shipyards, and is supported by Agentschap NL through the Maritime Innovation Programme. DAMEN shall provide an overview of the recent composite developments, and discuss typical issues when applying composites in commercial shipbuilding, such as understanding loading conditions with its effect on composite structures, and fire safety. In order to increase the knowledge about composite materials for the professional maritime industry, DSM Composite Resins joined the FLIGHT project in order to evaluate its latest developments in resin technology to improve the composite performance for structural applications. DSM will present the latest resin developments and the ways in which they interact with different fibre reinforcements.
