The inherent strain method is known to be very efficient in predicting the deformation of steel plate by line heating. However, in the actual line heating process in shipyard, the rapid quenching changes the phase of steel. In this study, In order to consider additional effects under phase transformation, inherent strain regions were assumed to expand. Also, when calculating inherent strain, material properties of steel in heating and cooling are applied differently considering phase transformation. In this process, a new method which can reflect thermal volume expansion of martensite is suggested.8y the suggested method, it was possible to predict the plate deformations by line heating more precisely.

Line heating is an effective and economical process for forming flat metal plates into three-dimensional shapes for plating of ships. Because the nature of the line heating process is a transient thermal process, followed by a thermo elastic plastic stress field, predicting deformed shapes of plate is very difficult and complex problem. In this paper, neural network model o3r solving the inverse problem of metal forming is proposed. The backpropagation neural network systems for determining line-heating positions from object shape of plate are reported in this paper. Two cases of the network are constructed-the first case has 18 lines which have different positions and directions and the second case has 10 parallel heating lines. The input data are vertical displacements of plate and the output data are selected heating lines. The train sets of neural network are obtained by using an analytical solution that predicts plate deformations in line heating process. This method shows the feasibility that the neural network can be used to determine the heating-line positions in line heating process.

선상가열의 열원으로는 가스 가열법, 고주파 유도 가열법, 그리고 레이저 가열법 등이 사용될 수 있다. 가스 가열법은 많은 조선소등에서 사용되고 있으나 가열 후 얻어지는 잔류변형을 제어하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 고주파 유도 가열법은 비교적 정확한 변형량 제어가 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있어서 새로운 선상가열 열원으로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 고주파 유도가 열법을 이용한 선상 가열의 변형 특성 및 가열장치의 특성을 파악하기 위한 기본단계로써 고주파 유도가열에 의한 열변형 과정에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 전자장 해석과 와전류 해석, 와전류에 의하여 판에 발생하는 온도 분포, 그리고 열탄소성 변형 해석을 수행하였다.

In the shipyard, line heating and triangle heating are two major processes for forming curved plates in various shapes. While there have been many studies on line heating, triangle heating has been rarely studied due to its complicated heating process with irregular multi-heating paths and highly concentrated heat input. As the triangle heating process is one of the most labor-consuming jobs in shipyards, it is essential to study the automation as well as improvement of triangle heating process in order to increase hull forming productivity. In this study, a pioneering attempt to simulate triangle heating was made. A circular disk-spring model was proposed for elasto-plastic analysis procedure of triangle heating and the inherent strain method was also used to analyze the deformation of plates. Simulation results were compared with those of experiments and showed good agreement. It is shown that the present approach including analysis model used in this study is effective to simulate the triangle heating for plate forming process in shipbuilding.

Inherent strain method for analyzing deformation of line-heating is substituting experiments of high cost, because of its high accuracy and quickness. Nowadays, the progressing forms of line-heating are not straight moving motions used to traditional studies, but weaving motions which can diversely input heat source. In shipyard, reasons of weaving motions are induction of a special characteristic by water cooling, maximum temperature limitation for keeping plates from melting, and rhythm for workman's maintaining velocity. On this study, a method which can obtain optimal weaving heating condition was presented, some examples were introduced, and the results corresponded to works of shipyard. Lastly, what the specifications of plates on efficiency are is presented, through the quality standard of shipyard and FEM heat transfer simulation. The ultimate purpose of line heating is the automation, so in case of plates which need weaving heating, the optimal heating condition suggested by this study can be used well in designing coil specifications of induction heaters which are heat input sources of new generation.

It has been well documented that plate forming is one of the most important processes in shipbuilding. In the most shipyards, the line heating method is primarily used for plate forming. Since the heating process is carried out for the curved plate and not for the flat plate, a curvature effect on the final deformation must be considered in deriving the simplified prediction models for deformation. This paper investigates the effect of curvature along the heating line on the deformation of the plate. First of all, results of numerical analysis are compared with these of a line-heating test, to justify the elasto-plastic analysis procedure for the present study, which shows good agreement. Then, the present numerical procedure is applied to flat and curved plate models, to investigate the curvature effect on the heat transfer characteristics and deformation by line heating.

Different methods exist for the estimation of thermaldeformation of plates in the line heating process. These are based on the assumption of residual strains in the heat-affected zone, known as the method of inherent strains, or simulated relations between heating conditions and residual deformations. The purpose of this paper is to develop a simulator of thermal deformation in the line heating, using the artificial neural network. Curvature deformations for the plate-forming are investigated, which can be used as a prime deformation parameter in the process. The curvature of plates are calculated using the approximation of plate surface by NURBS. Line heating experiments for 11 specimens of different thickness and heating conditions were performed. Two neural networks predicting the maximum temperature and curvature deformations at the heating line are studied. It was concluded that the thermal deformations predicted by the neural network can be used in a line heating simulator, which is considered an attractive and practical alternative to the existing methods.
