MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMER COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR LONG LENGTH SHIPS
Marine Design
Composite materials are poised to expand beyond traditional vessel size limits as researchers tackle durability and certification challenges. Findings from the FIBRESHIP initiative show how seawater exposure affects structural performance of large FRP laminates, providing critical evidence to support future composite ship design, regulatory acceptance and maritime innovation worldwide efforts.
DESIGN OF AN UNMANNED SURVEILLANCE BOAT
Smart Ship Technology
Autonomous surveillance vessels are enhancing coastal security through remote operation, reduced crewing requirements and improved mission flexibility. This study combines hull design, stability, resistance, powering and seakeeping analysis to develop a cost-effective unmanned craft capable of operating in challenging conditions while delivering precise manoeuvrability in constrained coastal and canal environments
