The Language of Tolerances†
نویسنده
چکیده
Dimensional tolerancing is a language used to communicate product quality specifications. Effective communication using this language relies on there being a common, shared meaning for tolerances. By this measure, the language of tolerances defined in modern standards does not support good communication. Some reasons for this are: the evolution of technology; the lack of research on tolerances prior to the last two decades; and a greater need for rigorous product specifications in a computer environment. I discuss the weaknesses of the language of tolerances and suggest a three-part program of research and standards development to improve it.

An investigation the effects of geometric tolerances on the natural frequencies of rotating shafts
This paper examines the effects of geometric tolerances on the natural frequencies of rotating shafts. In order to model the tolerances, a code is written in MATLAB 2013 that produces deviated points. Deviated points are controlled by different geometric tolerances, including cylindricity, total run-out and coaxiality tolerances. Final surfaces and models passing through the points are created ...
