Compensation of welding shrinkage in ship production by integrating computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering in a design for assembly technique
Abstract:Welding is the primary joining process in ship production and inherently causes shrinkage and angular distortion that degrade the dimensional quality (adherence to tolerance specifications) of ship blocks during assembly. Considering that intermediate products of low quality are not scrapped but must be reworked, the productivity of each workstation greatly depends on the dimensional quality of these intermediate products. One of the major ''design for assembly'' methodologies to control welding shrinkage in s… Show more
