symmetric laminate, possessing equal plies with positive and negative angles.<br />

material properties varying with the orientation or direction of the reference co-ordinate.<br />

a sandwich beam is defined as a box beam if it has face material on 4 sides<br />

global buckling refers to an unstable displacement of a structural part, such as a panel,<br />

caused by excessive compression and or shear.<br />

reference value of a load to be used in the determination of the load effects. The<br />

characteristic load is normally based upon a defined fractile is the upper end of the<br />

distribution function load.<br />

the nominal value of the structural strength to be used in the determination of the design<br />

strength. The Characteristic Resistance is normally based upon a defined fractile in the<br />

lower end of the distribution function for resistance.<br />

is understood to be the party ultimately responsible for the system as installed and its<br />

intended use in accordance with the prevailing laws, statutory rules and regulations.<br />

a major section of the structure, i.e. tower, that can be tested as a complete unit to qualify<br />

the structure.<br />

a particular state of existence.<br />

all phases during construction, including transportation, installation, testing,<br />

commissioning and repair.<br />

in general, an element of a larger grouping. In advanced composites, the principal<br />

constituents are the fibres and the matrix.<br />

is understood to be a party contracted by the Client to perform all or a part of the necessary<br />

work needed to bring the System to an installed and operable condition<br />

the central member of a sandwich construction . Metallic or composites facing materials<br />

are bonded to the core to form a sandwich panel.<br />

special laminate that contains only 0 and 90 degree plies.<br />

separation or loss of bonds of plies (the 2-D layers) of material in a laminate.<br />

characteristic load multiplied by the load factor.<br />

characteristic resistance divided by the resistance factor.<br />

requirement which is to be fulfilled during design as part of a so-called code check. The<br />

design rule is usually an inequality expressed in terms of the design load and the design<br />

resistance, e.g., the design load shall be less than or equal to the design resistance. The form<br />

of the design rule may resemble the form of the failure criterion, however, it is expressed<br />

in terms of fixed design values of the load and resistance variables, whereas the failure<br />

criterion is expressed in terms of the physical, stochastic load and resistance variables<br />

themselves.<br />

value to be used in deterministic design procedure, i.e., characteristic value modified by the<br />

partial load factor or the partial resistance factor.<br />

( or sub-component) is a major three-dimensional structure that can provide complete<br />

structural representation of a section of the full structure.<br />

environmental exposure that may harm or degrade the material constituents.<br />

loads due to the environment, such as waves, current, wind, ice, earthquakes.<br />

planar, woven material constructed by interlacing yarns, fibres or filaments.<br />

all operations related to the material assembly into objects with a defined purpose.<br />

sheet, consisting of metal or layers of composite materials, adhesively bonded to a core<br />

material in a sandwich structure.<br />

criterion to define or identify when failure has occurred, usually expressed as an inequality<br />

in the governing variables, e.g. load greater than resistance.<br />
