Abstract
For many years, Fibre Reinforced Plastic constructions
have been called "promising" or "the solution of the
future" in shipbuilding. Today, one can safely state that
this technology is here to stay, being successfully,
applied in almost all mobile structures in which high
performance and low fuel costs are essential. Several
applications in cars, buses, trains, containers and ships
show that the benefits brought by the sandwich technology
are technically and economically, attractive not only to
aeronautical engineering, but for other sectors as well.
The weight saying opportunities offered by FRP Sandwich
structures can nosy be utilised even better by using the
research results obtained within the Nordic NoKoS
research envelope.
