Variation Simulation of Fixtured Assembly Processes for Compliant Structures Using Piecewise-Linear AnalysisStewart, Michael L. 09 October 2004 (has links) (PDF)
While variation analysis methods for compliant assemblies are not new, little has been done to include the effects of multi-step, fixtured assembly processes. This thesis introduces a new method to statistically analyze compliant part assembly processes using fixtures. This method, consistent with the FASTA method developed at BYU, yields both a mean and a variant solution. The method, called Piecewise-Linear Elastic Analysis, or PLEA, is developed for predicting the residual stress, deformation and springback variation in compliant assemblies. A comprehensive, step-by-step analysis map is provided. PLEA is validated on a simple, laboratory assembly and a more complex, production assembly. Significant modeling findings are reported as well as the comparison of the analytical to physical results.
