Tolerance analysis aims on checking whether specified tolerances enable functional and
assembly requirements. The tolerance analysis approaches discussed in literature are …

The aim of tolerance analysis is to find a balance between manufacturing cost and product
geometric quality. Earlier research usually considered ideal surface-based deviation models …

With the introduction of new technologies, the scope of miniaturization has broadened. The
conditions under which complicated products are designed, manufactured, and assembled …

Geometric deviations affect the assemblability and functional compliance of products, since
small part variations accumulate through large-scale assemblies and lead to malfunctions …

The statistical tolerance analysis has become a key element used in the design stage to
reduce the manufacturing cost, the rejection rate and to have high quality products. One of …

Tolerance analysis aims toward the verification impact of the individual tolerances on the
assembly and functional requirements of a mechanism. The manufactured products have …

Product assemblability and functional behavior are affected by geometric deviations. These
deviations consist of manufacturing errors and part deformation defects caused by external …

Abstract Exact Constraint Design is well established in design theory to ensure a robust and
predictable system behavior. In practice, however, it is often inevitable to deviate from this …

The embodiment of mechanical joints is a demanding activity during the design of
mechanism. In this context, particularly the assessment of the effects of geometrical …

Today the market environments require products to be developed by multidisciplinary teams,
which have to consider contradictory requirements in drastically reduced times-to-market. In …
