Ship block assembly sequence planning considering productivity and welding deformation

Integrated Process Planning and Scheduling and Multimode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling: Ship Block Assembly Application

Assembly Sequence Planning

The sequence of mating operations which can be carried out to assemble a group of parts is constrained by the geometric and mechanical properties of the parts, their assembled configuration, and the stability of the resulting subassemblies. An approach to representation and reasoning about these sequences is described here, and leads to several alternative explicit and implicit plan representat...

Assembly Sequence Planning Method for Compliant Assembly

Compliant assemblies are widely used in automobiles and airplanes etc. In order to simplify the complex assembly sequence planning problem of compliant assemblies involving dimensional variation caused by deformation, a two-step assembly sequence planning method is proposed in this paper. Meanwhile, an example of a wingbox assembly is used to explain the principle of the method. In the first st...

Assembly Sequence Planning for Motion Planning

This paper develops a planner to find an optimal assembly sequence to assemble several objects. The input to the planner is the mesh models of the objects, the relative poses between the objects in the assembly, and the final pose of the assembly. The output is an optimal assembly sequence, namely (1) in which order should one assemble the objects, (2) from which directions should the objects b...

Effect of geometrical variable and welding sequence on residual stresses and deformation in a 5083-H321 aluminum T joint

Studies on welding process of Aluminium weldments shows that post-weld residual stress and deformation are influential on structure efficiency and there are different variable which affect these stresses and deformation. In this study the effect of geometrical variables and welding sequence on residual stresses and deformation in Aluminium H321 have investigated by the finite element software A...
