An Introduction to Tolerance Analysis of Flexible Assemblies

نویسنده

  • K. G. Merkley
چکیده

Tolerance analysis is used to predict the effects of manufacturing variation on finished products. Either design tolerances or manufacturing process data may be used to define the variation. Current efforts in tolerance analysis assume rigid body motions. This paper will present a method of combining the flexibility of individual parts, derived from the finite element method, with a rigid body tolerance analysis of the assembly. These results can be used to predict statistical variation in residual stress and part displacement. This paper will show that manufacturing variation can produce significant residual stress in assemblies. It will demonstrate two different methods of combining tolerance analysis with the flexibility of the assembly.

Comparison of Assembly Tolerance Analysis by the Direct Linearization and Modified Monte Carlo Simulation Methods

Two methods for performing statistical tolerance analysis of mechanical assemblies are compared: the Direct Linearization Method (DLM), and Monte Carlo simulation. A selection of 2-D and 3-D vector models of assemblies were analyzed, including problems with closed loop assembly constraints. Closed vector loops describe the small kinematic adjustments that occur at assembly time. Open loops desc...
