| Description | The use of composite sandwich structures (CSSs) has increased rapidly in marine construction, such as hull, deckhouse, propellers, hatch covers, and other subsea structures, due to their high performance and light weight properties. The development of materials and processing methods allows composite sandwich systems to operate in extremely severe conditions of the marine environment. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the advancement and characterisation of core, skin, and adhesive materials used in CSS. Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are optimal choices as load-bearing skins, which offer a combination of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and service-life benefits. Foam and honeycomb cores are introduced as common configurations for minimising weight and preserving the structural integrity of the CSS under loading. In addition, this review discusses the recent investigations on the response of CSS under marine conditions, such as temperature, seawater, and blast loading. Some issues and challenges are also addressed to gain broad use of CSS in marine applications. Book Name: Sandwich Composites |
