Abstract Based on the computational geometry technique, an improved algorithm for minimum zone of roundness error evaluation using an alternating exchange method is presented. A minimum zone fitting function was created to enhance the roundness error evaluation. The function uses three candidate points to determine the initial solution: the expected centre, the mean circle radius, and the corresponding zone half-width. The best solution function is designed to use the initial solution as the input to determine the optimum solution for the minimum zone circle. The proposed algorithm was validated using data available in the literature. The roundness error evaluation comparison results demonstrate that the proposed method accurately detects both the centre error magnitude and minimum zone circle and overcomes the insufficiency of using selected colinear points for four selected points.

s: Arc detection is difficult for processing, assembly and testing of industrial production because of limitations of detection methods, algorithms and instruments. The least-squares algorithm is used to fit data in circle detection. The application of conventional least-squares algorithm is limited, as roundness error is bigger, precision is lower. For detecting arc with data points of non-uniform distribution, improved least-squares algorithm, developed an analysis algorithm for assessing the minimum zone roundness error. Center and radius can be solved, without iteration and truncation error. Using the discrete data instances verified different roundness error evaluation methods. Visual measurements have been carried out using the proposed methods. Calculated results using the four kinds of roundness error evaluation methods (Figure 7-10). Ball diameter errors are-0.0245mm、0.0176mm、-0.1052mm and 0.302mm, roundness errors are 0.07mm、0.063mm、0.078mm and 0.146mm. The improved least-squares algorithm and the minimum zone algorithm are suitable for distributed data of all kinds situations, particularly suitable for the realization of machine vision inspection system, fast speed, high precision, wide application.

The minimum zone fitting and error evaluation for the logarithmic curve has important applications. Based on geometry optimization approximation algorithm whilst considering geometric characteristics of logarithmic curves, a new fitting and error evaluation method for the logarithmic curve is presented. To this end, two feature points, to serve as reference, are chosen either from those located on the least squares logarithmic curve or from amongst measurement points. Four auxiliary points surrounding each of the two reference points are then arranged to resemble vertices of a square. Subsequently, based on these auxiliary points, a series of auxiliary logarithmic curves (16 curves) are constructed, and the normal distance and corresponding range of values between each measurement point and all auxiliary logarithmic curves are calculated. Finally, by means of an iterative approximation technique consisting of comparing, evaluating, and changing reference points; determining new auxiliary points; and constructing corresponding auxiliary logarithmic curves, minimum zone fitting and evaluation of logarithmic curve profile errors are implemented. The example results show that the logarithmic curve can be fitted, and its profile error can be evaluated effectively and precisely using the presented method.

The geometric parameters of the elastic foil bearing are important basis for designing the foil bearing. Whether the main shape indices of the pressed foils meet the design requirements is the key to evaluate a manufacturing method. The inconsistent curvature radii of the top foils, the inconsistent bump heights of the bumps on the bump foil, the roundness error of the top foil, and the curve profile error of the bump foil may cause the pre-tightening assembly difference and different bearing capacity of each bearing shell. Aiming at the shape error evaluations of the foils for a multi-leaf foil bearing, first, the algorithm of geometric area optimization for circle roundness error is introduced and an evaluation method of arc roundness error is put forward according to the minimum zone principle in this paper. This method can be used to calculate the roundness error of the top foil for a multi-leaf foil bearing. The results show that the corresponding roundness error of the top foil decreases with the increasing of the pressing pressure. The relative roundness error is small (less than 7%), which changes a little with different pressing pressures. For the measurement of a bottom bump foil, the method of matching feature points is used in pre-location and then fine-positioning for the measured curve is implemented based on the least square method in order to eliminate the position error between the measured curve and the design curve. Thus, the curve profile error evaluation of the bottom bump foil for a multi-leaf foil bearing is implemented and the profile error of each bump can be obtained. According to the shape error evaluation values of the top foil and the bump foil, the quality control strategy and the error compensation by improving the mold structure can be further researched.

This paper establishes the equivalence between the solution to a linear Chebyshev approximation problem and that of a weighted least squares (WLS) problem with the weighting parameters being appropriately defined. On this basis, we present an algorithm for form error evaluation of geometric features. The algorithm is implemented as an iterative procedure. At each iteration, a WLS problem is solved and the weighting parameters are updated. The proposed algorithm is of general-purpose, it can be used to evaluate the exact minimum zone error of various geometric features including flatness, circularity, sphericity, cylindericity and spatial straightness. Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm.
