While some, she said, would focus on continuing the "big picture" of Cox's work, she urged others to integrate "tolerance, peace and understanding" in their everyday lives.
Integrating tolerances in CAD allows the visualization and simulation of the mechanical assemblies' behavior in their real configuration and the detection of possible interference and collision effects between parts which are undetectable in the nominal state.
There are important questions that would need to be looked upon: How to integrate the tolerance synthesis in the design process?
Promising methods include engineering biofuel export systems, heat shock proteins, membrane modifications, more general stress responses, and approaches that integrate multiple tolerance strategies.
X-ray computed tomography of a pine tree revealed three main features of tree branch joints which provide high structural efficiency and damage tolerance: integrated design with the branch embedded into the centre of the trunk; three-dimensional fibril lay-up in the principal stress directions; and variable fibril density to achieve iso-strain conditions through the joint connection.
This paper proposes a new approach to integrate the tolerances in CAD model by the determination of the configurations with defects of a CAD part, used in a mechanical system.
The purpose of this paper is to consider thermal expansion of parts integrated within functional tolerancing.
The microarray data corresponding to the 2 contrasting accessions and the dose response effect were integrated to identify tolerance-associated genes.
To assess and address risks in cyber-physical systems like these, the system designer's toolset needs to include concepts drawn from cyber security, reliability, and fault tolerance design, integrated into a common methodology.
Therefore, to build a coherent data model taken into account tolerances, we describe in this paper a multi-level approach that enables a tolerancing process integrated with conceptual design.
