THE FAIRING OF SHIP LINES AND SEAM LANDING CALCULATION BY A COMPUTER

Some proposals to use a high-speed computer for the fairing of ship lines have been made in recent years. And as many advantages of time and economy are expected, the method of practical application of the computer in ship line-fairing must be established before long. Among some reports on this problem, we obtained suggestions from F. Theilheimer and developed a programme of numerical calculation for practical use. This programme uses the values of station offset as input data and calculates the values of the frame offset as output data. And as the application of the fairing method we have also developed a programme for the seam landing calculation. This report gives the outline of these programmes and an example of output data of the fairing calculation.
