Titel
Lasergeschweisste Paneele als Leichtbauteile im Schiff- und Stahlbau
Abstract
Lightweight construction in shipbuilding and steelindustry requires low-distortion joining and modifications in structural design. Sandwich panels are a possibility to reduce weight while still achieving a required structural strength. They can efficiently be produced using laser welding techniques and after benefits in terms of fire safety, efficient and precise manufacturing and assembly. Based on the experience of Meyer Werft the paper briefly reviews the results of tests under staticaly bendig and fatique loads with sandwich paneels. Applications in shipbuilding are discussed.
