Abstract
Structures built of FRP-sandwich are becoming a realistic
alternative not only in small craft and highspeed
vessels, but also in the components of larger ships. This
is leading to an increasing demand for reliable and
economical joints between large sandwich parts and metal
structures. Bolting is not cost effective as the number
of bolts increases in extensive parts in the project
"Joints between FRP sandwich and metal structures"
several joint elements were developed for being
adhesively bonded to the sandwich panel in its
prefabrication phase. This makes it possible to weld the
FRP part directly to the metal structure in the shipyard.
