Zusammenfassung:This report summarizes the analysis and design of a hybrid underwater lifting body structure. It is part of an effort to investigate the response of hybrid composite/metal construction techniques and hybrid connection connections in U.S. Navy vessels. This effort includes structural analysis of a lifting body structure designed by Navatek, Ltd of Honolulu HI that was constructed of aluminum for the SES 200. Analysis of this structural system as an e-glass/vinylester - aluminum hybrid was undertaken. Additionally, a hydrostatic test system was developed used for a proof-of-concept study for a hybrid structural system, based upon the lifting body design. The original document contains color images. Performed in collaboration with Applied Thermal Sciences, Sanford, ME.
