  Structural Analysis of NFRP Composite Boat Hull Using Finite Element Method

  By Rajesh P. Nair, Renjith R.

  Abstract: Composite materials have conquered over conventional materials, is a reality now. Despite many advantages, composite materials like CFRP and GFRP etc. lack some key properties like sustainability, renewability and environmental impact. In this perspective, natural fiber composites and bio-composites are gaining more attention. The principal driving forces for new bio‐composite materials are: the cost of natural fibers (currently priced at one‐third of the cost of glass fiber or less), weight …
