Parametric kinematic tolerance analysis of general planar systems

چکیده
We present an algorithm for functional kinematic tolerance analysis of general planar mechanical systems with parametric tolerances. The algorithm performs worst-case analysis of systems of curved parts with contact changes, including open and closed kinematic chains. It computes quantitative variations and helps designers detect qualitative variations, such as blocking and under-cutting. The algorithm constructs a variation model for each interacting pair of parts: a mapping from the part tolerances and configurations to the kinematic variation of the pair. These models generalize the configuration space representation of nominal kinematics to toleranced parts. They are composed via sensitivity analysis and linear programming to derive the system variation at a given configuration. The variation relative to the nominal system function is computed by sampling the system variation. We demonstrate the algorithm on detailed parametric models of a movie camera film advance and of a micro-mechanical gear discriminator.

Robust Kinematic Synthesis of Mechanical Systems with the Configuration Space Method
We describe a framework for robust kinematic design based on tolerance analysis and parametric design via configuration space manipulation. The input is a parametric model of a planar mechanical system comprised of lower and higher kinematic pairs in open or closed loops. The robust synthesis task is to find a nominal design that functions correctly despite small parameter variations. This task...

We present a parameter synthesis algorithm for planar, higher pair mechanical systems. The input is a parametric model of a mechanical system (part shapes and configurations) with nominal values and tolerance intervals for the parameters. The output is revised parameter ranges that guarantee correct kinematic function for all system variations. Nominal values are changed when possible and toler...
متن کاملParametric kinematic tolerance analysis of planar mechanisms
We present an efficient algorithm for worst-case and statistical kinematic tolerance analysis of mechanisms with parametric part tolerances. The algorithm derives the kinematic variation directly from the part geometry, the part degrees of freedom, and the allowable parameter variations. It first derives a geometric representation of the kinematic variation as parametric surfaces in the mechani...

This paper describes a framework and algorithms for robust kinematic design of mechanical assemblies. The framework, developed over a period of ten years, is based on the configuration space method and supports automatic modeling, nominal and toleranced analysis, and part tolerance envelope computation of open and closed loop planar mechanisms with multiple, changing contacts. It also supports ...
