Abstract

This research has been carried out in order to analyse the possibility of fiberglass woven roving used as an alternative material for the hull of of fishing boat. The standard used in this analyzing process was the Standard of Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI), especially to find how the forces applied to the boat. Once the forces were found, they would be applied to justify the possibility mentioned above. The justification process was done by theoretically analyzing the mechanical properties of some fiberglass woven roving composites using mathematical software. The composites have been made by varying the mixture volume fraction between 0% - 100% within 10% interval, fiber orientation angle between 0o – 90o within 5o interval, and then the results which met the requirements according to BKI Standard would be justified by the results obtained from experimental analysis. Based on the experimental analysis results, it could be stated that the fiberglass woven roving with composition of 40% - 60% and fiber orientation angle 0o can be used as an alternative material for the hull of fishing boat.
