Analytical determination and dimensional control of the stand curves required for the assembly of complex-shaped naval block sections

The usual devices for assembling curved naval block sections shall be designed having regard to the regulatory distance of the ship. Even if universal devices are used, they shall be adapted for each cross-section of the ship. In this respect, it is important that the curved surface of the hull is expressed through numerical methods so that the most accurate analytical description of the stand curves required for the construction of the assembly device can be obtained. This work sets out how to calculate and verify the stand data required for the assembly of complex-shaped naval block sections in relation to the outer cover of the vessel
