Abstract: In sheet metal assembly, joints are designed to facilitate welding the parts. The three basic joints used in sheet metal assemblies are lap (slip) joints, butt joints, and butt-lap (corner) ...

Abstract: Traditional variation analysis methods, such as Root Sum Square method and Monte Carlo simulation, are not applicable to sheet metal assemblies because of possible part deformation during the ...

Abstract: The characteristics of hydrostatic bearings can be influenced by the compensating device they use, for example, a thin-walled orifice (diaphragm). The flow through the orifice is given by a law ...
