In statistical tolerance analysis, it is usually assumed that the statistical tolerance is normally distributed. But in practice, there are many non-normal distributions, such as uniform distribution, triangular distribution, etc. The simple way to analyze non-normal distributions is to approximately represent it with normal distribution, but the accuracy is low. Monte-Carlo simulation can analyze non-normal distributions with higher accuracy, but is time consuming. Convolution method is an accurate method to analyze statistical tolerance, but there are few reported works about it because of the difficulty. In this paper, analytical convolution is used to analyze non-normal distribution, and the probability density functions of closed loop component are obtained. Comparing with other methods, convolution method is accurate and faster.

The purpose of math models for tolerances is to aid a designer in assessing relationships between tolerances that contribute to variations of a dependent dimension that must be controlled to achieve some design function and which identifies a target (functional) feature. The T-Maps model for representing limits to allowable manufacturing variations is applied to identify the sensitivity of a dependent dimension to each of the contributing tolerances to the relationship. The method is to choose from a library of T-Maps the one that represents, in its own local (canonical) reference frame, each contributing feature and the tolerances specified on it; transform this T-Map to a coordinate frame centered at the target feature; obtain the accumulation T-Map for the assembly with the Minkowski sum; and fit a circumscribing functional T-Map to it. The fitting is accomplished numerically to determine the associated functional tolerance value. The sensitivity for each contributing tolerance-and-feature combination is determined by perturbing the tolerance, refitting the functional map to the accumulation map, and forming a ratio of incremental tolerance values from the two functional T-Maps. Perturbing the tolerance-feature combinations one at a time, the sensitivities for an entire stack of contributing tolerances can be built. For certain classes of loop equations, the same sensitivities result by fitting the functional T-Map to the T-Map for each feature, one-by-one, and forming the overall result as a scalar sum. Sensitivities help a designer to optimize tolerance assignments by identifying those tolerances that most strongly influence the dependent dimension at the target feature. Since the fitting of the functional T-Map is accomplished by intersection of geometric shapes, all the T-Maps are constructed with linear half-spaces.

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.

To improve the accuracy of the financial early warning of the company, aiming at defects of slow learning speed, trapped in local solution and inaccurate operating result of the traditional BP neural network with random initial weights and thresholds, a parallel ensemble learning algorithm based on improved harmony search algorithm using good point set (GIHS) optimize the BP_Adaboost is proposed. Firstly, the good-point set is used to construct a more high quality initial harmony library, and it adjusts the parameters dynamically during the search process and generates several solutions in each iteration so as to make full use of information of harmony memory to improve the global search ability and convergence speed of algorithm. Secondly, ten financial indicators are chosen as the inputs of BP neural network value, and GIHS algorithm and BP neural network are combined to construct the parallel ensemble learning algorithm to optimize BP neural network initial weights value and output threshold value. Finally, many of these weak classifier is composed as strong classifier through the AdaBoost algorithm. The improved algorithm is validated in the company's financial early warning. Simulation results show that the performance of GIHS algorithm is better than the basic HS and IHS algorithm, and the GIHS-BP_AdaBoost classifier has higher classification and prediction accuracy.

Tolerance analysis aims toward the verification impact of the individual tolerances on the assembly and functional requirements of a mechanism. The manufactured products have several types of contact and are inherent in imperfections, which often causes the failure of the assembly and its functioning. Tolerances are, therefore, allocated to each part of the mechanism in purpose to obtain an optimal quality of the final product. Three main issues are generally defined to realize the tolerance analysis of a mechanical assembly: the geometrical deviations modeling, the geometrical behavior modeling, and the tolerance analysis techniques. In this paper, a method is proposed to realize the tolerance analysis of an over-constrained mechanical assembly with form defects by considering the contacts nature (fixed, sliding, and floating contacts) in its geometrical behavior modeling. Different optimization methods are used to study the different contact types. The overall statistical tolerance analysis of the over-constrained mechanical assembly is carried out by determining the assembly and the functionality probabilities based on optimization techniques combined with a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). An application to an over-constrained mechanical assembly is given at the end.
