Abstract
The interaction between thin shell roofs and ship hull design is imperfectly understood and merits careful examination. Sample calculations for a typical installation in ship hull design illustrate the use of nonlinear regression. The analysis reveals 4 distinct regimes of behaviour, each associated with a characteristic form of thin shell roofs. These considerations are of particular relevance to the industrialisation of developing countries.
