\nAssessment Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Assessment 2: Research Paper on the Structural Response of Composite Materials in Marine Environments
\nWeighting:<\/strong>\u00a060%
\nSubmission Date:<\/strong>\u00a017th March 2025
\nWord Count:<\/strong>\u00a04000 words (\u00b110%)<\/p>\n

Learning Outcomes:<\/strong>
\nUpon successful completion of this assessment, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Critically analyse the mechanical properties and failure modes of composite materials used in marine construction.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Evaluate the long-term structural performance of composite marine structures under complex loading and environmental degradation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Synthesise current research to propose a novel application or a design improvement for a composite marine component.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Task:<\/strong>
    \nYou are required to produce a research paper that investigates a specific aspect of the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in marine structures. Your paper must go beyond a simple literature review to present a critical analysis and a forward-looking perspective. You should:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Select a specific marine structure or component (e.g., ship hull panel, tidal turbine blade, offshore piping system, unmanned surface vessel hull).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Critically review the relevant literature concerning the performance of FRP composites in this application, focusing on at least two of the following factors: hydrostatic pressure, fatigue loading, impact resistance, or seawater ageing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Identify a current research gap or a limitation in the existing application (e.g., susceptibility to delamination, joint failures, biofouling effects on structural integrity, recycling challenges).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Propose and justify a conceptual design modification, a novel material hybridisation (e.g., with nanomaterials or natural fibres), or a new manufacturing technique intended to address the identified limitation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Referencing:<\/strong>
      \nThe Harvard referencing system must be used consistently and correctly throughout the paper. A minimum of 15 credible academic sources is expected, a significant proportion of which should be from peer-reviewed journals published within the last five years.<\/p>\n
