With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, this is an essential guide for all those involved in the design, production and maintenance of bonded structures in the marine environment, as well as proving a key source for academic researchers in the field. This book provides an invaluable overview of the design and use of adhesively-bonded joints in marine environments; discusses the use of adhesives in marine and offshore engineering, adhesive solution design and analysis, and the design of adhesively-bonded joints for ship applications and wine turbines, among other topics; reviews testing the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of adhesives for marine environments, together with the moisture resistance and durability of these adhesives. -- Edited summary from book.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
