Abstract:
A ship (20) is constructed of a skeleton (29), including a hull (22), horizontal decks (24), and vertical support posts (30), all permanently joined together. At least some of the interior walls (26b) are made of a composite material of reinforcement embedded in a plastic matrix. These non-structural interior walls (26a) are semi-permanently attached to the skeleton (29) with attachments, so that they may be readily rearranged to reconfigure the interior of the ship (20). The majority of the apparatus and infrastructure of the ship is affixed to the skeleton (29) but not to the non-structural walls (26a).
Abstract:
Method for building boats comprising a plurality of panels (11, 12) attached at the bottom and at the side to a hull (13) and at the top to a deck (14) suitable for defining a plurality of watertight compartments in the underdeck area, the method comprising the steps of attaching together the panels (11, 12) according to predetermined angles through fitting elements (20, 20', 20") of the type provided with at least two pathways for receiving the panels (11, 12), mutually arranged according to predetermined angles, and a pathway for receiving adhesive from outside and for distributing it in the pathways for receiving the panels (11, 12), anchoring the panels (11, 12) to the deck (14) and to the sides (13' ) of the hull (13).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a substantially laterally pressure-loaded panel, the side aspect ratio of which is at least 1.5 and said panel being formed of at least two reinforcement layers of substantially unidirectional fibres, i.e. unidirectional reinforcement layers, the predominant orientations of said reinforcement layers forming an angle of approx. +/- 55 DEG - +/- 75 DEG with the longer side of the panel. The panel is preferably constructed of multiaxial reinforcement, the fibres of which are positioned at an angle of approx. +/- 55 DEG - +/- 75 DEG with respect to the longer side of the panel. Panels in accordance with the invention can be used preferably in connection with boat and/or shipbuilding and also in other pressure-loaded tanks, pressure-vessels and other corresponding structures that are subjected to a lateral pressure load.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a substantially prismatic tank (1) for the transportation and storage of fluids comprising a bottom and a first (10) and second pair of opposite side walls, both pair of walls joined to said bottom, wherein the first pair of side walls are inclined with an obtuse angle with respect to the bottom, said first pair of side walls having a height of more than half the total height of the tank, and the second pair of side walls have a substantially straight angle with respect to the bottom.
