Exploring the Effectiveness of Using Graveyard Data When Generating Design Alternatives
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that unique alternative designs can be efficiently found by searching the discarded data (or graveyard) from a multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA). Motivation for using ... -
Combining Variation Simulation With Thermal Expansion Simulation for Geometry Assurance
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)In every set of assembled products, there are geometrical variations and deviations from nominal dimensions. This can lead to products that are difficult to assemble or products not fulfilling functional or aesthetical ... -
Theory and Algorithms for Weighted Total Least Squares Fitting of Lines, Planes, and Parallel Planes to Support Tolerancing Standards
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)We present the theory and algorithms for fitting a line, a plane, two parallel planes (corresponding to a slot or a slab), or many parallel planes in a total (orthogonal) leastsquares sense to coordinate data that is ... -
Enhancing the Product Realization Process With Cloud Based Design and Manufacturing Systems
