Hi.
I am into designing the hull of 25m 40knot aluminum vessel. Industry standard is to use NV/EN/AA 5083 for plating due to good strength and corrosion resistance.
For this project we are considering to use NV-5059, branded as Corus Alustar, which have an almost 30% higher yield strength than...
Could anyone please share any method, by rule of thumb, to calculate the steelweight of any ship in general, and a 50m coastguard vessel in particular, for the use in the early project phase. I.e. LxBxHx "C" = Weight or preferably somethin more exact?
Thanks

I am often performing extensive penetration-analyses for large steel-constructions. For the moment penetrations of girder-beams.
I am looking for reference-books/hand-books covering the topic (girder penetrations). Both theoretical books and books containing tabulated examples/typical cases are...
