Kharghani, N. e Guedes Soares, C. (2018), “Experimental and numerical study of hybrid steel-FRP balcony overhang of ships under shear and bending”, Marine Structures, Vol. 60, pp. 15-33

A model of a composite-to-steel hybrid balcony overhang is tested order to find strength and stiffness under imposed shear and bending loads. The configuration tested is representative of a solution being considered for the balconies of cruise ships, where the substitution of steel by composites aims at weight saving. The steel component is a channel type of structure made of two plates that serve as external supports of the sandwich plate. A finite element model is used to compare with the experimental results and to predict the critical regions of stress concentration. The results include load-deflection and load-strain curves with the maximum value of the shear and bending loads. The critical locations and failure loads have been investigated too.
