industrial revolution, usage of steel in boat construction is increased which allowed the designers to design bigger boats. Steel is still common for commercial and military boats. Afterwards aluminum and ferrocement has been used for boats. Lots of boats are produced with these materials also. Composites first used in space and aviation areas. Then, composites were used as a new material for military aimed boats and small boats. The material chapter’s (chapter 3) aim is to explain the properties of the materials and to try to find out the most suitable material for serial production of small boats by comparing the different materials. By deciding the composites as the most suitable material for serial production of small boats, the manufacture process with this material is explained in the fourth chapter. The aim here is to show a way to find the manufacture method by explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the serial production. 1.3. The Method Of The Study This thesis consists of three chapters except introduction and conclusion, which completes each other. In the first chapter the boat design process, design characteristics, design methods are mentioned and some comparisons are made to find out an optimum design by giving examples of boat designs. This comparison is made by two alternatives for the same boat by taking care of different speed, comfort, dimension, form, care expenses and cost estimates. By the help of this; a designer can decide what is important to find out an optimum design during design process, sometimes by comparisons and sometimes by explanations. This introduces the affects and the importance of the databases, materials and the manufacture processes of the second and third chapters to the reader and forms a ground for the material part formed in chapter two. In chapter two the materials used in boat production is being explained and comparisons between materials are made. This comparison is made to find out the most suitable material for serial production by taking care of the material’s mechanical characteristics, outer affects to material (such as impact, corrosion), cost estimates, labor and time etc. Different tables and practical experience support the comparisons. After finding the most suitable material as FRP, the manufacture methods of FRP boats are explained as third chapter. At the third chapter the conventional and industrialized construction techniques of FRP are explained by comparison of cost estimates, labor, time, easiness for 3PDF Image | FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC BOAT IN SERIAL PRODUCTION
