RISChallenges in Geometry Assurance for Composites Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Composite materials are well known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, but their unique manufacturing process presents some challenges and is a source of geometric variations. To minimize the effects of such variations ...
Challenges in Geometry Assurance of Megacasting in the Automotive Industry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Megacasting is a new concept in the automotive industry. A large number of sheet metal parts will be replaced with one large aluminum casting, i.e., a megacasting. This helps to reduce weight, opens up for larger design ...
A Multistage Approach to the Selective Assembly of Components Without Dimensional Distribution Assumptions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selective assembly is a means of obtaining higher quality product assemblies by using relatively low-quality components. Components are selected and classified according to their dimensions and then assembled. Past research ...

A Robust Design Perspective on Factors Influencing Geometric Quality in Metal Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) for metals is a widely researched, continuously enhanced manufacturing process and is implemented across various industries. However, the AM process exhibits variation that affects the geometric ...
Algorithm for Detecting Load-Carrying Regions Within the Tip Seat of an Indexable Cutting Tool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Maintaining an even pressure distribution in an indexable cutting tool interface is crucial to the life expectancy of a carbide insert. Avoiding uneven pressure distribution is highly relevant for intermittent cutting ...
Minimizing Weld Variation Effects Using Permutation Genetic Algorithms and Virtual Locator Trimming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mass production paradigm strives for uniformity, and for assembly operations to be identical for each individual product. To accommodate geometric variation between individual parts, tolerances are introduced into the ...
