Material characterization tests were performed at the US |
|
Naval Academy to identify a toughened laminate for the |
|
new Navy 44-foot sail training vessels. After preliminary |
|
analysis using classical lamination theory, four |
|
different cores, five laminates and seven resin systems |
|
were tested in UV exposure, four-point bending, lateral |
|
panel pressure, and simulated bow impact. Results showed |
|
substantial improvements in strength, toughness, cost and |
|
weight were possible over the existing laminate, with the |
|
lightest acceptable laminate yielding a weight savings |
|
equivalent to 3.5% of the vessel's displacement. |
