Study on the methods of precision controlling for the manufacture of hull curvature sections

The precision controlling technology is a key step for the modern ship construction, with the precision controlling of the ship-hull curvature as one of bottlenecks in shipbuilding, where the initial is to present a compensation value for the ship-hull plate precisely. The compensation value of the curvature plate is composed of two parts: the construction compensation, which results in the process of heating construction of curvature plate, and the assembling compensation, which results in welding ribbed stiffeners onto the curvature plate. Based on the developed computation system for the local contraction value, this paper presents a method to establish the experimented samples for the assembling compensation by means of numerical experiments, and another method to establish the practical mathematical model for the construction compensation of curvature plate. Furthermore, it introduces the experimental measuring method for the assembling compensation of the curvature plate, based on which the related database system has been developed. Numerical examples are analyzed to demonstrate the process to establish mathematical model for the assembling compensation values.
