longitudinal framing

Longitudinal framing was a known method of shipbuilding before Isherwood.

It had also become licensees for the Isherwood system of longitudinal framing.

The hull was completely welded to save weight and they used longitudinal framing throughout.

Just using the more powerful drives and controllers wouldnt overstress the longitudinal framing.

Longitudinal framing was used and hull plating was thicker than the project 7 ships.

This included a new system of longitudinal framing to ease construction whilst at the same time increasing the integral strength of the ships.

HMS Ardent was built using longitudinal framing rather than conventional transverse framing.

The riveted hull used the typical Russian framing method of longitudinal framing for the bulk of the hull and traverse framing for the ends.

Longitudinal framing is used except in the side area between double bottom and tweendeck, which has transverse framing to improve the distribution of ice loads on the side shell.

The riveted hull was subdivided by 24 transverse bulkheads and used longitudinal framing in the citadel, but transverse framing for the structure fore and aft of the citadel.

The success of it and the first general cargo liner to be constructed on the "Isherwood" system, the Gascony in early 1909, encouraged builders in a number of countries to use longitudinal framing as well.

Longitudinal framing (also called the Isherwood system after British naval architect Sir Joseph Isherwood, who patented it in 1906) is a method of ship construction in which large, widely spaced transverse frames are used in conjunction with light, closely spaced longitudinal members.

Another problem was that the Italian design had to be adapted to use the Soviet preference for a mix of longitudinal framing for the hull framing amidships and transverse framing for the ends, while also reinforcing the hull structure to withstand the more-severe weather conditions that the Soviets commonly encountered.
