SIDER Testing of a Damaged Section of Mast From the Mirabella V Superyacht
Abstract
This report documents work performed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in support of The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP), composite panel TP-7, Operating Assignment 026, on the durability assessment of composites in the service environment. This is part of KTA-101 composite performance and long-term durability under dynamic, thermal and shock loading. This report presents the results of a single Structural Irregularity and Damage Evaluation Routine (SIDER) inspection of one section of the new mast of the Mirabella V superyacht. The section that was tested had known manufacturing defects. Prior to the SIDER testing, the decision had been made by VT Palmatic Limited, Portchester Shipyard, Hamilton Road, Portsmouth, UK to remake the component. Therefore, the work reported here was conducted on a structurally unacceptable component that was not going to be used in service.
