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 />
