Abstract

Recently, sandwich materials have been developed in several marine applications. This study presents a literature review on the application of sandwich materials in ship structures. The sandwich material consists of two layers of faceplates and core material bonded with adhesive, which was developed as a lightweight material for ship structure. Several experimental and numerical studies have been discussed on the strength analysis of sandwich structures in various ship sections. It is explained that the sandwich structure has stiffness and strength performance that is close to or even better than the conventional stiffened plate structure. Besides that, the rules governing the application of sandwich materials to ship structures are also discussed. This regulation provides criteria to ensure that the strength of sandwich structures is equal to conventional structures
