Abstract: When designers assign tolerances on engineering drawings, they have a significant influence on the resulting cost and producibility of manufactured products. A rational basis for assigning tolerances ...

Abstract: Elementary tolerance analysis with nonlinear assembly equations or functions can lead to significant errors when either Worst Limits or Root Sum Squares are applied. A previous paper [1] presented ...

Abstract: Even when all manufactured parts for an assembly are produced within limits, these parts still may not assemble properly if the assembly tolerance analysis was inadequately performed. Naturally ...
