Marine Composites: Design and Performance presents up-to-date information and recent research findings on the application and use of advanced fibre-reinforced composites in the marine environment. Following the success of their previously published title: Marine Applications of Advanced Fibre-reinforced Composites which was published in 2015; this exemplary new book provides comprehensive information on materials selection, characterization, and performance. There are also dedicated sections on sandwich structures, manufacture, advanced concepts, naval architecture and design considerations, and various applications.

The book will be an essential reference resource for designers, materials engineers, manufactures, marine scientists, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, coastal engineers, boat manufacturers, offshore platform and marine renewable design engineers.

Presents a unique, high-level reference on composite materials and their application and use in marine structures Provides comprehensive coverage on all aspects of marine composites, including the latest advances in damage modelling and assessment of performance Contains contributions from leading experts in the field, from both industry and academia Covers a broad range of naval, offshore and marine structures

The essential textbook for all students preparing for Marine Engineer Officer exams.Covering the theoretical, fundamental aspects of naval architecture, this textbook is aimed at students preparing for the Class 1 and Class 2 Marine Engineer Officer exams. It introduces the foundation themes within naval architecture (hydrostatics, stability, resistance and powering), using worked examples to show how solutions should be presented for an exam.The topics are ordered as they might be in a typical taught module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a complement to a course. The text and figures continue to be updated in line with modern practice. Many of the figures are three-dimensional diagrams. The book also includes sample examination questions with worked examples to aid students in their learning.As well as an expanded section on stability that considers inclining experiments, this new edition also factors in changes within the industry as it moves towards Net Zero propulsion. Due to the pace of innovation, students who qualify today will see big changes during their careers, and this edition anticipates this and prepares students for such developments.

This volume brings together major contributions from the 2004 Autonomy and Language Learning: Maintaining Control conference and provides different critical interpretations of autonomy in second language education. Contributors include Naoko Aoki, Phil Benson, Sara Cotterall, Edith Esch, Terry Lamb, David Little, Phil Riley, Barbara Sinclair, Richard Smith and Ema Ushioda.
