Garbatov, Y, Sutherland, L.S., Guedes Soares, C. and Cabral, G.P. (2005), “Structural Assessment of a Fishing Vessel Built of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Resin”, Proceedings of the RINA Conference on Fishing Vessels, Fishing Technology and Fisheries, 13-14 April, Newcastle, U. K, pp. 89-98

The paper describes the structural design and fabrication of a fishing vessel of Polyester Glass resin reinforced with fiber which is aimed at fishing sardines. The paper analyses a hull structure of fishing vessel made of glass fiber reinforced polyester resin, which is laminated by hand. The finite element method is used for assessment of entire ship hull based on global and local detailed analyses. The paper describes a procedure for a finite element analysis of the strength of the ship hull that can be used as for preliminary design of the ship hull. The material properties were determined from experimental tests described in the paper. The method of fabrication the material and of construction is also descri
