Abstract Presented is a method for mathematically modeling mechanical component tolerances. The method translates the semantics of ANSI Y14.5M tolerances into an algebraic form. This algebraic form is suitable for either worst-case or statistical tolerance analysis and seeks to satisfy the requirements of both dimensional metrology and design analysis and synthesis. The method is illustrated by application to datum systems, position tolerances, orientation tolerances, and size tolerances.

This paper develops a family of optimized [Formula: see text]-sub-step time integration methods for structural dynamics, in which the generalized trapezoidal rule is used in the first [Formula: see text] sub-steps, and the last sub-step employs [Formula: see text]-point backward difference formula. The proposed methods can achieve second-order accuracy and unconditional stability, and their degree of numerical dissipation can range from zero to one. Also, the proposed methods can achieve the identical effective stiffness matrices for all sub-steps, reducing computational costs in the analysis of linear systems. Using the spectral analysis, optimized algorithmic parameters are presented, ensuring that the proposed methods can accurately calculate different types of dynamic problems such as wave propagation, stiff and nonlinear systems. Besides, with the increase in the number of sub-steps, the accuracy of the proposed methods can be enhanced without extra workload compared with single-step methods. Numerical experiments show that the proposed methods perform better in different dynamic systems.
