Abstract:The crane installation on the deck of a yacht redistributes the stress field and affects the local structural integrity and performance. The safe operation of the yacht is associated with the optimal placement of the crane on the deck and the proper local structural reinforcement. Here, the structural analysis of the bow part of a yacht made of composite materials is studied, considering the retrofit installation of a crane, in three different cases of reinforcing the deck: (a) without any reinforcement, (b) w… Show more
