EVALUATING DESIGN SOLUTIONS CONSIDERING REQUIREMENTS TO REDUCE LABOR-CONSUMPTION IN HULL STRUCTURES

During ship hull design, the requirement for adaptability to production imperatives often conflicts with the need to reduce metal consumption, improve ship lines, and the like. Achieving a compromise normally entails the use of complex optimization criteria for design solutions, the analysis of which is very difficult and labor intensive. A number of cases, however, lend themselves to the use of simplified operative calculations, one of the possible forms of which is described. The author assumes that the index of economic effectiveness or the design solution under consideration (a specific function) can be approximately represented as a function of one parameter.
