MATHEMATICAL SHIP LOFTING. PART 1. THEORY. PART 2. OPERATING. MANUAL, THROUGH APPENDIX C, VOLUME 2

Abstract

A method of fairing ships' hulls and obtaining a surface equation representing the ships' hull through the use of linear programming is presented. Methods for producing loft data from this equation are also presented. Operation of the mathematical lofting system is described. Instructions for the computer programs and pro gram listings are given.
