The Main Principles of Forming Integral Panels Used in Modern Shipbuilding Industry

In modern shipbuilding of high — speed vessels, like in the aircraft industry, the high requirements for quality, dynamic and static characteristics are placed, either in the phase of project or in the phase of production process. The corresponding speed in the light high-speed and super-high-speed structures can be achieved in various ways, all consideration however boil down to the reduction in weight of vessel proper, saving of structural material, rational increase of propulsion power, and modern form, modeling to reduce total resistance, and eliminating all needless lies elements. One of possible way for eliminating needless lies elements is using the integral panel (incorporated skins and longitudinals, produced by milling process). In this paper the main principles of the special technology of forming are done, which could be applicate in modern shipbuilding production process, especially in the production of super-high speed vessels.
