Honeycomb Panel

The manufacturing of aluminum honeycomb panel are usually difficult. The abrasive waterjet method can offer a suitable solution. This paper presents the results of some experiments on waterjet cutting of circular holes into aluminum honeycomb panel, which can be further used for cutting holes in aluminum honeycomb panel . The main problem which occurs is the tapered shape of the hole, due to the mechanics of the process and the control of the kerf produced by the waterjet. The experiments considered several values of the main process parameters like the pump pressure and the feed rate which have a direct influence on the part machineability. After measuring the parts, there were analyzed the main dimensional parameters of precision to reveal the proper solution for obtaining the required quality of the process.

Lubricant Viscosity

The thermohydrodynamic performance of the bearing is analyzed, taking into account the three-dimensional variation of lubricant viscosity and density. The effect of pivot position and operating and environmental conditions on the performance is studied. The present analysis is compared with the isoviscous or the two-dimensional analysis, and is found to predict the bearing performance more accurately.

Sheet Metal Assembly

Abstract Assembly processes for compliant non-rigid parts are widely used in manufacturing automobiles, furniture, and electronic appliances. One of the major issues in the sheet metal assembly process is to control the dimensional variation of assemblies throughout the assembly line. This paper provides an overview of the recent development in variation analysis for compliant assembly. First, the unique characteristics of compliant assemblies are discussed. Then, various approaches to variation modeling for compliant assemblies are presented for single station and multi-station assembly lines. Finally, examples are given to demonstrate the applications of compliant assembly variation models.

Sheet Metal Assembly

Dimensional variation in assembled products directly affects product performance. To reduce dimensional variation, it is necessary that an assembly be robust. A robust assembly is less sensitive to input variation from the product and process components, such as incoming parts, subassemblies, fixtures, and welding guns. In order to effectively understand the sensitivity of an assembly to input variation, an appropriate set of metrics must be defined. In this paper, three product-oriented indices, including pattern sensitivity index, component sensitivity index, and station sensitivity index, are defined. These indices can be utilized to measure the variation influence of a pattern, an individual part, and/or component, and components at a particular station to the dimensional quality of a final assembly. Additionally, the relationships among these sensitivity indices are established. Based on these relationships, the ranges of the sensitivity indices are derived. Finally, a case study of a sheet metal assembly is presented and discussed to illustrate the applicability of these metrics.

Research investigations have shown that the dimensional quality is deeply rooted in the whole process of the product development, from product, process and tooling design, the tooling manufacturing process, to the production. Unlike rigid body assembly, automotive body assembly has its unique characteristics. The final dimensions of automotive bodies depend not only on the variations/deviations and rigidity of components, tooling/process variation, but also on the product structure, connection type and assembly sequence. An adaptive strategy for automotive body development is here by presented to exploit these unique features. By the adaptive product, process and tooling design strategy, the dimensional variation/deviation for the key dimensions can be significantly reduced and the die tryout time be shorten with significant cost saving.
