This paper describes a quick and accurate method for predicting thermal deformation due to flame bending of the curved plate located before and after the hull. Flame bending is a common method to deform the curved plate used in shipyards. Three-dimensional thermo-elasto-plastic analysis is known as the most accurate method for predicting deformed shape in the automation of frame bending. However, the three-dimensional analysis takes a lot of computational time. The quick prediction method, strain as direct boundary (SDB), was introduced, which is a simplified prediction method based on thermal strain. This simplified method implements an equivalent load as a temperature difference that can simulate thermal deformation by flame. In the case of multiple heating lines by the flame bending, the residual strain generated by the first heating line affects the other lines. To consider the effect of residual strain, the plastic material properties are also considered. Then, the distance ratio from the center line is used to generate the same temperature field in grid mesh. The results of the prediction were evaluated for the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the specimen obtained through the flame bending experiment. Therefore, this paper introduced detail procedure of the proposed SDB method and the experimental results for the practical application.
