<DIV>Adhesive bonding of joints in the marine environment is increasingly gaining in popularity as a method of joining, due to its economic, performance related and environmental advantages over traditional welding in some applications. This book provides an invaluable overview of the design and use of adhesively-bonded joints in this challenging environment.<br><BR>After an introduction to the use of adhesives in marine and offshore engineering, part one focuses on adhesive solution design and analysis. The contributors explain the process of selecting adhesives for marine environments, discuss the specific design of adhesively-bonded joints for ship applications and wind turbines and predict the failure of bonded structural joints in marine engineering. Part two reviews testing the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of adhesives for marine environments together with the moisture resistance and durability of adhesives for marine environments.</div>
