The geometrical shape form problem for various metallic structures was a major engineering
challenge during time. This was mainly an architectural issue but also a manufacturing one.
We're especially concerned about the quantity of used material. This problem is directly
connected with the stress state that develops in these structures. A special place in this
context is represented by the naval constructions. In this particular field we're studying
metallic beam structures covered with plates. The actual shape of those plates gives …
