Abstract:Tolerance sensitivity indicates the influence of individual component tolerances in an assembly on the variation of a critical assembly feature or dimension. Important applications include assembly tolerance analysis and tolerance allocation. This paper presents a new method for determining tolerance sensitivity using vector loop assembly tolerance models. With a vector loop model, the assembly kinematic constraints or assembly functions can be established automatically as implicit functions. This method evalu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
