DESCRIPTION:
"A research guide only" according to Robert A Sielski. The book provides an outline for the research needed to use adhesives for bonding metals. It is neither a design guide or a fabrication manual.
About the AuthorJan R. Weitzenböck is a Principal Engineer at Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Norway.
The process of selecting adhesives for marine environments is explored, followed by chapters discussing the specific design of adhesively-bonded joints for ship applications and wind turbines. Adhesives in marine engineering provides an invaluable overview of the design and use of adhesively-bonded joints in this challenging environment.After an introduction to the use of adhesives in marine and offshore engineering, part one focuses on adhesive solution design and analysis. As a method of joining with economic, performance-related and environmental advantages over traditional welding in some applications, adhesive bonding of joints in the marine environment is increasingly gaining popularity. Predicting the failure of bonded structural joints in marine engineering is also considered. Part two reviews testing the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of adhesi
