Mapping of Shell Plates of Double Curvature Into Plane Surfaces

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

A solution for mapping of shell plates of double curvature into plane surfaces is presented. As in most cases in which the equation of the surface of a compound-curved shell plate is unknown, the mapping of the surface of such a plate is done to a so-called "associated surface," which is specified in three dimensions and can substitute for the previous one within the shipbuilding tolerances. This solution allows a plane peripheral contour of one of these shell plates to be built according to the forming process chosen. It also allows the calculation of the parameters involved instead of the traditional trial and error method.
