Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) extension of our previous work on the synthesis of assemblies whose dimensional integrity is insensitive to the dimensional variations of individual ...

Abstract: A method for optimally synthesizing multicomponent structural assemblies of an aluminum space frame (ASF) vehicle body is presented, which simultaneously considers structural stiffness, manufacturing ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of assembly synthesis focused on the in-process adjustability, where assembly synthesis is defined as the decomposition of the end product design prior to the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the methods to move assembly variation analysis into early stages of aircraft development where critical partitioning, sourcing, and production decisions are often made for ...
