Counter-Deformed Design of Ship Structural Parts Using Geometric Shape Deformation Based on Welding Distortion Estimation

We introduce a method to design manufacturing shapes of ship plate parts that considers weld-induced deformation. The design shape of a bracket is counter-deformed by a pure geometric method. Deformation quantities are estimated based on data captured in the field, and a manufacturing design shape is obtained by counter-deforming an original design shape by the proposed geometric deformation method.
