Title
Developing a tool to establish the most efficient structural design of small craft (complying with ISO12215-5).
Background
Solico Engineering has a significant amount of experience in providing builders with Structural Engineering packages.
Principally, there are 3 hull structures:
- Sandwich with composite skins on a rigid core (like PVC-foam)
- Sandwich with composite skins on a soft core (like coremat of Soric)
- Single skin
Most influencing factors on the most efficient hull structure are:
- Length
- Displacement
- Speed
- Location
- Panel size
- Availability of materials
- Availability of production methods
- Build quantity
This internship is set to develop a template, which will support us in obtaining a good baseline set-up.
