Santos, F.M., Santos, J.M., Duarte, F. and Guedes Soares, C. (2004), “Finite Element Analysis of a 30ft one-off Racer Cruiser Yacht”, Proceedings of the I International Symposium on Yacht Design and Production (MDY'04), 25-26 March, Madrid, Spain, pp. 267-278
The article describes a structural finite element analysis of a sailing yacht made of sandwich core laminates. The hull structure basically consists on laminates made of epoxy resin reinforced with unidirectional and bi-axial fibres bounded to cores of variable densities for different areas of the hull. Transitions from sandwich to monolithic are adopted in hull to deck joints, deck equipment insertions, and commonly known areas to be susceptible to compression.
