Work breakdown structure
To achieve our aim of establish adhesive bonding as a joining method in ship
building, the project was divided into the following workpackages (WP):
 | WP1 studies structural behaviour of bonded joints and their
long-term performance. It involves the application of structural modelling
techniques as well as testing programs. Other aspects addressed are design for
production and fire protection of joints. |
 | In WP2 the application cases and the materials used in the
project are specified. The writing of the guidelines is co-ordinated in this
workpackage. Moreover, the non-destructive inspection methods for bonded
joints are studied here. |
The next 3 WP’s are concerned with developing and validating design,
materials and production techniques and repair schemes for different
applications.
 | The application of adhesive bonding technology to patrol vessel
superstructures was studied in
WP3. In addition critical defect sizes for
this application will be established. |
 | For WP4 bonded joints are investigated for secondary attachments to
cruise ship superstructures which have a mainly aesthetic function. This
includes balconies and fairings. |
 | In WP5 load
bearing adhesive joints in superstructures are
studied for bonding of „small“ aluminium superstructures to the main (steel)
structure of a cruise ships to replace current bi-metallic connections.
