Adhesives in marine engineering provides an invaluable overview of the designand use of adhesively bonded joints in this challenging environment. After anintroduction to the use of adhesives in marine and offshore engineering, partone focuses on adhesive solution design and analysis. 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. Predicting the failure of bonded structural joints in marine engineering is also considered. Part two reviews testing the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of adhesives for marine environments together with themoisture resistance and durability of adhesives for marine environments. INDICE: Introduction to using adhesives in marine and offshore engineering. Part 1 Design and analysis: Selecting adhesives for marine environments and pre-design; Designing adhesively bonded joints for ship applications; Designing adhesively bonded joints for wind turbines; Predicting the failure of bondedstructural joints in marine engineering. Part 2 Testing and characterisation:Testing the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of adhesives for marine environments; Assessing the moisture resistance of adhesives for marine environments; Durability of adhesives in wet conditions.
