Hull Thickness/Reinforcement & Percent Open Area Calculations Hull Thickness (in) Walls 0.75 Ribs 0.75 Gunwales 0.75 Length Width Given: A basalt fiber mesh with an aperture dimensions of 0.39

13 Hull Thickness/Reinforcement & Percent Open Area Calculations Hull Thickness (in) Walls 0.75 Ribs 0.75 Gunwales 0.75 Length Width Given: A basalt fiber mesh with an aperture dimensions of 0.39 x The thickness of fibers along the sample length, t1, was determined to be 1/16 inches wide while the thickness along the sample width, t2, was found to be 1/8 inches wide. (See figure above) Determine: Percent Open Area (POA) of the basalt fiber reinforcing mesh Solution: d1 = aperture dimension + 2(t1/2) = (0.0625/2) = 0.45 inches d2 = aperture dimension + 2(t2/2) = (0.125/2) = 0.52 inches Lengthsample = n1d1 = [(6)(0.45)] = 2.7 inches Widthsample = n2d2 = [(12)(0.52)] = 6.24 inches Sum_Areaopen = n1 x n2 x Areaopen 1 = 6 x 12 x 0.15 = in 2 Areatotal = Lengthsample x Widthsample = 2.7 x 6.24 = in 2 POA = Sum_Areaopen/AreaTotal x 100% = 10.80/16.85 x 100% = 64% (> 40% min.) 13
