Three principal geometric parameters of ribs required for plate contouring: a the general curvature C G required for out-of-plane plate bending; b the unrolled curvature C U required for in-plane plate bending enables plates to trace the conical rib surface; and c the longitudinal twist αLT is required to ensure that the plate remains parallel to the rib surface
