The International Sailing Canoe: A Technical Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The unique teatures of the International Sailing Canoe have intrigued naval architects and sailors for years. This paper highlights the historical design development, describes current trends. and presents results from finite element analyses of three popular conSlruction methods: cold·molded cedar. fiberglass, and carbon/epoxy. Comparisons are presented of the bending and torsional stillness, pitch gyradius, and factors of safety. In general. the carbon/epoxy exhibited !he best characteristics. followed by the cold·molded cedar and the fiberglass. The Tsal'Wu quadrahc lallure crilerion developed for laminated plates was used in Ihe faClor·ol·safety calculations Factors 01 safety correlated closely to empirical development.

متن کاملDevelopment of an upwind sailing ergometer.
PURPOSE To develop a sailing ergometer that accurately simulates upwind sailing exercise. METHODS A sailing ergometer that measures roll moment accompanied by a biofeedback system that allows imposing a certain quasi-isometric upwind sailing protocol (ie, 18 bouts of 90-s hiking at constantly varying hiking intensity interspersed with 10 s to tack) was developed. Ten male high-level Laser sai...
متن کاملCritical Success Factors for Data Virtualization: A Literature Review
Data Virtualization (DV) has become an important method to store and handle data cost-efficiently. However, it is unclear what kind of data and when data should be virtualized or not. We applied a design science approach in the first stage to get a state of the art of DV regarding data integration and to present a concept matrix. We extend the knowledge base with a systematic literature review ...
