To lay the foundation of the automation for line heating forming, a method for heating path generation and simulation for ship plate steel base on STL mode was proposed in this paper. The line heating path was generated by slicing the STL model of the steel plate using a series of planes, and the models of the heating equipment of ship plate steel were build, and the heating process of ship plate steel can be simulated by inputting the models of the heating equipment into the simulation system that was built by using VC++ and OpenGL. The case study shows that the method can primely solve the inconvenient of manual heating and the whole heating process can be observed by the simulation so that the heating process can be made a reasonable monitoring, and the heating path generation and simulation software are runs stably and reliably.

Line heating is the main method for forming compound curved shells of hull. The accuracy of final deformation and the productivity depend on the experience of the workers. To predict the plate deformation, the explicit mathematical model for deformation and the main influencing factors by FEA and GEP is established in this paper. The main influencing factors in line heating process were analyzed firstly. Then, 16 group deformation results of steel plate under the five main influencing factors were obtained by FEA. At last, the explicit mathematical model for deformation and the main influencing factors was established.

Geometry And Kinematics

A ship hull is largely made of curved plates, and some of them are doubly curved ones that are not developable. They are formed by the line heating method that has been used for a long time in ship construction. There have been a lot of efforts to automate the line heating process, and a practical algorithm for line heating information was developed. The algorithm, based on differential geometry and kinematics analysis of plates, was efficient in terms of computational time. Up to now, however, its applicability to the real shipyard process has not been evaluated. In this paper, we develop a software framework for heating line computation, test it with real ship hull pieces, and verify that the information from the algorithm matches worker's know-how in practice.

Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI) has successfully employed the logic of the Finite Element Method on the principle of Thermal Forming or Line Heating, which facilitates use of computer aided, fully automated line heating machines for forming any curvature precisely and efficiently on a hull steel plate in the shipbuilding process. It is undesirable for the future in line heating that only an experienced technician is able to be skilled in the use of existing line heating f1 or steel plate forming. Accuracy of shape formed by existing line heating is not necessarily well controlled and work at succeeding stages is adversely affected by inaccurate interim products, though it is a very useful method informing steel plates and all apparatus required for line heating is just light tools. The IHI-Advanced Line-heating Process for Hull-steel Assembly (IHI-ALPHA) has succeeded in solving these problems.

The objective of this paper is to apply the life cycle assessment methodology to assess the environmental impacts of light steel framed buildings fabricated from cold formed steel (CFS) sections. The assessment covers all phases over the life span of the building from material production, construction, use, and the end of building life, in addition to loads and benefits from reuse/recycling after building disposal. The life cycle inventory and environmental impact indicators are estimated using the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings. The input data related to the building materials used are extracted from a building information model of the building while the operating energy in the use phase is calculated using an energy simulation software. The Athena Impact Estimator calculates the following mid-point environmental measures: global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential, human health potential, ozone depletion potential, smog potential, eutrophication potential, primary and non-renewable energy (PE) consumption, and fossil fuel consumption. The LCA assessment was applied to a case study of a university building. Results of the case study related to GWP and PE were as follows. The building foundations were responsible for 29% of the embodied GWP and 20% of the embodied PE, while the CFS skeleton was responsible for 30% of the embodied GWP and 49% of the embodied PE. The production stage was responsible for 90% of the embodied GWP and embodied PE. When benefits associated with recycling/reuse were included in the analysis according to Module D of EN 15978, the embodied GWP was reduced by 15.4% while the embodied PE was reduced by 6.22%. Compared with conventional construction systems, the CFS framing systems had much lower embodied GWP and PE.

Line heating is an effective and economical method for forming metal plates into three-dimensional shaped plates for ships, trains, and airplanes. When a curved plate subject to deformation is formed in line-heating process, the deformed shape is repeatedly inspected and reformed to reach the designed shape. Efficient automatic inspection and reforming processes are essential to enhance productivity in the whole manufacturing process. In this paper, efficient algorithms for inspection and reforming of double-curved plates are introduced. These algorithms have been developed to automatically inspect the transverse and longitudinal shape of plate surfaces and provide technical parameters to reform the unformed plates. The longitudinal shape of the plate surface is examined based on a shell plate development with plastic deformation during the plate formation, and the transverse shape is inspected through error analyses of transverse curvature radiuses. How to use the inspection results to reform unformed plates is discussed. In the end, experiments are performed with comparison to the current industrial plate manufacture, and results show a prospective application of our algorithms to the practical manufacturing of doublecurved plates. The methods presented in this study may play a role in realizing the automation of the entire curved-plate manufacturing process.
