Study on the strength of a fishing boat made from plastic recycles

Abstract

Ship’s strength is a very significant factor in ship design. In this research, a study of the strength of ships made of recycled plastic material has been carried out. The ship has been designed according to the needs of the load weight, passengers, propulsion system, fishing equipment and the weight of the material itself. Then the load is distributed into the design, where the profile shape and plate thickness used are assumed to be temporary. The strength of the boat analysed, and the minimum plate thickness required in the design is 10 mm with maximum strain The recycle plastic used is type 2 (HDPE).
