RISDesign Evaluation of Sheet Metal Joints for Dimensional Integrity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of joints between parts is one of the most critical issues in the design of sheet metal assemblies. This paper presents a new part-to-part joint design evaluation index developed ...
Fixture Failure Diagnosis for Autobody Assembly Using Pattern Recognition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a fault diagnostic method is proposed for autobody assembly fixtures. This method uses measurement data to detect and isolate dimensional faults of part caused by fixture. The ...
Fixture Failure Diagnosis for Sheet Metal Assembly with Consideration of Measurement Noise
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper expands previously developed assembly fixture fault diagnosis methodology (Ceglarek and Shi, 1996) by considering the impact of measurement noise on the diagnostic results. The proposed ...
Diagnosis of Multiple Fixture Faults in Panel Assembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a modeling procedure and diagnostic algorithm for fixture related faults in panel assembly. From geometric information about the panel and fixture, a fixture fault model can ...
Experimental Study on the Impact of Rainfall on RCC Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water content is an important parameter for ensuring construction quality of a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dam. Due to large-scale and long construction duration of an RCC dam, continuous construction under rain is an ...
A Knowledge-Based Diagnostic Approach for the Launch of the Auto-Body Assembly Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is the first attempt to implement a knowledge-based diagnostic approach for the auto-body assembly process launch. This approach enables quick detection and localization of assembly ...
Dimensional Fault Diagnosis for Compliant Beam Structure Assemblies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model-based diagnostic methodology is proposed for the dimensional fault diagnosis of compliant beam structures in automotive or aerospace assembly processes. In the diagnosis procedure, the ...
Adjusted Least Squares Approach for Diagnosis of Ill-Conditioned Compliant Assemblies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Least squares (LS) estimation has been extensively used for parameter identification and model-based diagnosis. However, if ill-conditioning is present, the LS estimation approach tends to generate ...
A Gradient Maintenance Technique for Seawater Solar Ponds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Seawater solar ponds are being evaluated as a means of reducing heat losses from thermal refuge areas in outdoor mariculture ponds during cold weather. The thermal refuge areas are intended ...
Parametric Studies of Guyed Tower Platforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A parametric study presented in this paper has investigated the interactions between structural properties and dynamic response for a guyed tower platform. The finite element method is introduced ...
