Abstract:Non-rigid compliant parts are widely used in industries today. One of the biggest challenges facing the industries is geometric variation management of these compliant parts, which directly impacts product quality and functionality. Existing rigid body based variation modeling is not suitable for compliant assembly while finite element analysis based methods have the disadvantage of requiring heavy computation efforts. In view of that, this paper develops a novel methodology to evaluate geometric variation pro… 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.
