The purpose of this study is to establish the predictive method of the angular distortion caused by the line heating process with high frequency induction heating. In order to do it, the heat input model for the high frequency induction heating system was established through comparing the temperature evaluation results obtained by both FEA and experiment. The critical heating conditions to prevent the degradation of the work piece with various thicknesses were identified by FEA and microstructure test results. Under the critical heating conditions, the extensive line heating tests were performed. According to the test results, it was found that the angular distortion behavior of the heated plates could be defined as the function of heat intensity and the rigidity of heated plate. In addition, it was clarified that the angular distortion strongly depended on the size of test specimen such as the length and the width of the heated plate. Based on these results, the predictive equation for the angular distortion was established with the function of heat intensity, bending rigidity and size of heated plate.

In order to simulate the line heating process which is a three-dimensional transient thermo elastic plastic state, a simple modified strip model is suggested. First attempt is made to verify the validity of the model using a finite element program, and the result gives good agreement with the plate theory where conventional two-dimensional model fails totally.

The purpose of this study is to establish the optimum line heating condition to straighten the excessive bending distortion of a thin plate welded structure. For it, the extensive FEA and experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of heat source, heating speed and position on the straightening of a thin plate welded structure. In accordance with the results obtained by FEA and experiments, the straightening effect of line heating was strongly depends on the variables used in this study. With the results, the optimum line heating condition was established by using the response surface method and verified through comparing it with the numerical analysis result.

현재 국내 대부분 조선소에서는 선박 외판 곡 가공 작업시 곡률이 작은 부재는 일반 낱개 형상의 목형 틀을, 선수 및 선미 구간 중 곡률이 큰 부재는 입체 형상의 목형 틀을 제작하여 선상 가열 작업 중 이를 참조하여 철판의 곡형을 생성한다. 이 중 입체형상의 목형 틀을 상형곡형이라고 한다. 이러한 상형곡형 제작정보를 생성하는 방법은 각 조선소마다 조금씩 다르기는 하지만 대부분이 수작업에 의해서 목형 제작정보를 생성한다. 현장 작업자가 선형도면을 직접 참조해서 작도 및 계산을 통하여 입체형상에 대한 각각의 정보를 수작업으로 산출하거나 또는 설계 작업자가 입체형상 구성에 필요한 모든 단면을 개별적으로 모델링하여 제작정보를 현장에 제공한다. 이 과정에서 작업 공수가 과다 소요되며 수작업에 의한 제작정보 오류가 종종 발생하여 외판 곡 가공 공정에 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 그렇기 때문에 본 연구에서는 상형곡형 제작에 필요한 생산 정보를 설계 작업자 또는 현장 작업자 어느 누구라도 쉽고 간단하게 산출할 수 있도록 생산지원 시스템을 개발하였다. 이로 인해 상형곡형 제작이 필요한 외판부재의 경우 즉시 제작정보를 산출하여 제작하도록 함으로써 작업시간을 비약적으로 절감이 가능하게 될 것이다.

As it is well appreciated plate forming by line heating takes an important role in ship production process. The paper deals with the development of line heating simulator which can produce the resultant deformation due to line heating in a few minute adn with which user can see the result graphically. For the present purpose mechanical modelling is adopted which can explicitly represent the physical resultant of line heating. In developing the present line heating simulator several program modules are integrated by adopting GUI concept such that the simulator can produce resultant deformation with keeping high accuracy. Application example is illustrated for the twisted shape surface which can be frequently seen in ship and offshore structures.

This study had the goal of investigating the effect of the curvature along the heating line on the transverse angular distortion of plates having an initial curvature from line heating. A thermo-elasto-plastic analysis was carried out using 54 models with various radii of curvature, plate thicknesses, and heating speeds. The results show the effect of the curvature along the heating line on the angular distortion in relation to changes in the magnitudes of the curvature, heating speed, and plate thickness. The present numerical results show that the time history of the angular distortion after cooling and reaching the final deformed shape for a plate having an initial curvature is quite different from that of a flat plate. This emphasized the importance of considering the curvature effect on the transverse angular distortion. From the viewpoint of the curvature effect on the deformation, it has been seen that the curvature does not affect the transverse shrinkage. In this study the predicting formula for the transverse angular distortion was derived through a regression analysis. It showed that as the curvature increased, the angular distortion was reduced because of the higher bending rigidity at the same heat input parameter, and the peak points moved toward the origin as the curvature increased.

In the line heating for the plate forming of a ship's hull, an in line assessment of completion is necessary for an automated production system. In the current curved plate forming process, a fabricated plate is compared to a template that is made in the mold loft and is used for the determination of the heating line for the next step. In this paper, a new method is presented for the in line assessment of completion for curved plate forming. This method uses a 3-D scanner. For the registration of the scanned data for a surface and the target surface, the ICP (Iterative Closest Points) method was adopted. A computer program was developed to carry out the registration, check for similarities, visualize the surface, and control the results. This program was applied to a sample curved plate forming process.

The temperature distribution and subsequent permanent deformation of SS400 carbon steel plate subjected to an induction-based line heating process were studied by a numerical method involving coupled 3-D electromagnetic-thermal-structural analysis. The numerical study revealed that the amount of permanent deformation is strongly related to the Joule loss caused by such process conditions as input power and moving speed of the heat source. To validate the numerical analysis results, line heating experiments were carried out with a high frequency(HF) induction heating(IH) equipment capable of bending thick plate with the moving accuracy of ${\pm}0.1mm$ in heating coil position. The amount of permanent deformation increased with decreasing moving speed and increasing input power.

For the last couple of decades many studies have been carried out to find out solutions to improve the effectiveness and productivity of the plate forming process. The practical way for the automation of the plate forming process has not been, however, developed yet. Since the characteristics of heating machines may be different form each other, it is necessary to investigate the thermal deformation characteristics of the heating machine to be used in the automation system. And their characteristics may be updated as new information about thermal deformation by heating is accumulated. In this paper, data base system has been constructed based on the results of experiments and numerical analyses, which will be used in deriving the deformation estimation formula. The computer code which can automatically derive the deformation estimation formula has been also developed. This paper also illustrates how the formula is updated as experimental data are added. From the present findings, it can be said that the automatic deriving procedure may be important in the automated plate forming system since the heating line information to be generated must be directly influenced by the deformation estimation formula.
