The paper presents a broad discussion of challenges currently faced in analysis and design of fibre-reinforced plastic sandwich structures for marine applications. Specific reference is made to the complexity of the characterisation of the material itself, and the establishment of specific design criteria. Experimental studies are described, including testing of beam specimens and hull sections. On this basis, some recommendations are made regarding analysis and design of sandwich structures.
