About This Course

This course, Innovative Bio-Composite Boat Construction provides an in-depth exploration of the development and application of bio-composites in the nautical industry. Emphasizing sustainability, this course covers the entire lifecycle of creating a bio-composite racing sailboat, from material selection to real-world performance.

  • Materials Selection: Understand the criteria for choosing bio-composite materials, focusing on flax fibers and balsa wood, and their mechanical properties​​.
  • Design: Learn the structural design process using finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure strength and durability while minimizing weight .
  • Manufacturing: Gain hands-on experience with multi-step vacuum resin transfer molding (VARTM) techniques for constructing lightweight and strong boat components .
  • Testing and Evaluation: Conduct tensile and resin absorption tests to evaluate material performance and optimize manufacturing processes .
  • Sailing Performance: Analyze the long-term performance and durability of bio-composite sailboats in real-world conditions, including regatta participation and maintenance .

By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to design, manufacture, and evaluate bio-composite structures for sustainable nautical applications.
