In this study, a new technique is presented, by which one can define ship hull form with full fairness from the input data of lines. For curve modeling, the de Casteljau Algorithm and Bezier control points are used to express free curves and to establish the unified curve modeling technique which enables one to convert non-uniform B-spline (NUB) curve or cubic spline curve into composite Bezier curves. For surface modeling, the mesh curve net which is required to define surface of ship hull form is interpolated by the method of the unified curve modeling, and the boundary curve segments of Gregory surface patches are generated by remeshing(rearranging) the given mesh curve net. From these boundary information, composite Gregory surfaces of good quality in fairness can be formulated.

This paper describes a smooth surface interpolating method of ship hull using a three-dimensional currie net that comes from the mesh curve fairing process. Geometric continuity(($GC^1$) is preserved across the boundary curve between patches. The three-dimensional curve net can have nonrectangular topologies, such as triangular and pentagonal topology. Among the boundary curve interpolation methods, Hermite blended Coons patch, Convex combination, and Gregory patch interpolation method are used to generate the ship hull surface. To check the fairness of the surface, the numerical method of surface/surface intersection problem is adopted. An application to an actual ship hull is given as an example.

This is describes the automatic mesh generation on the ship hull surface. At first ship hull is defined as a cillocation of composite surface patches which satisfy the geometic continuity between adjoining patches by using Gregory surface method. Node points that would be mesh points are ganerated by considering the surface curvature. The triangulation of the node points is by the combination of Ohtsubo's method and Choi's one. After triangulation, shape improvement and quadrilateralization is done with specific criterin. An application to the actual ship and the results are shown.

To determine a preliminary hull form with a minimum viscous resistance this study considers the systematic variations of full form and calculations of the viscous resistance for varied hull forms. A preliminary hull form can be determined from a parametric study of viscous resistance.

In this paper a new technique of inverse fairing problem for ship hull is proposed. Recently Lu solved the inverse fairing problem for automobile's body that was made by one surface element. In this system however hull surface is constructed by Gregory's composite surface interpolation method. So reflection line at boundary position is used as a tool of solving inverse problem in surface fairing. But the results are not good. The new concepts of Normal vector line and Constrained reflection line are introduced as an alternative tool. Energy minimization method for Normal Vector Line curve net and the inverse method for Constrained Reflection Line by using optimization technique are examined And the final lines from this proposed surface fairing method shows good fairness.

Manufacturing the complex surface plates in Stern and Stem is major factor in computing the processing cost of a ship. If these parts are effectively classified, it helps to compute the processing cost and find the way of cut-down on the processing costs. This study is intended to effectively classify surface plates. To solve this problem, we apply Pattern Classification of Neural-Networks.
