Year: 2012 Language: english Author: Ship Structure Committee, SSC Genre: Manual Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 106 Description: Aluminum has become popular as a structural material in many industries, and the maritime industry is no exception. Shortly after a smelting process was discovered and made aluminum a commercially available material, it was being used experimentally in the construction of marine vessels. Throughout the decades since that time, aluminum has been used in a number of different ships with varying levels implementation and varying degrees of success. The wide range of success in incorporating aluminum into the structural design has been a result of the level of understanding of the properties of the alloys and the ability of the designer to take advantage of the positive aspects while avoiding pitfalls and carefully designing around the considerations that are inherent in aluminum vessel design. Recently, as the commercial maritime industry and government organizations have begun constructing high speed vessels, aluminum has gained popularity as a structural material due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. However, ship designs must also consider the other properties of aluminum. This design guide has been written to provide a practical overview of the design process for large, aluminum high-speed vessels. It describes aluminum alloys, the manufacturing and joining processes for aluminum, and the vessel structural design and construction process.

High speed Aluminium vessels - Design guide
Language: english
Author: Ship Structure Committee, SSC

Quality: eBook
Pages count: 106
Description: Aluminum has become popular as a structural material in many industries, and the maritime industry is no exception. Shortly
after a smelting process was discovered and made aluminum a commercially available material, it was being used
experimentally in the construction of marine vessels. Throughout the decades since that time, aluminum has been used in a
number of different ships with varying levels implementation and varying degrees of success.
The wide range of success in incorporating aluminum into the structural design has been a result of the level of understanding
of the properties of the alloys and the ability of the designer to take advantage of the positive aspects while avoiding pitfalls
and carefully designing around the considerations that are inherent in aluminum vessel design.
Recently, as the commercial maritime industry and government organizations have begun constructing high speed vessels,
aluminum has gained popularity as a structural material due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. However, ship designs must
also consider the other properties of aluminum.
This design guide has been written to provide a practical overview of the design process for large, aluminum high-speed
vessels. It describes aluminum alloys, the manufacturing and joining processes for aluminum, and the vessel structural
design and construction process.
