A novel representation method of non-ideal surface morphologies and its application in shaft-hole sealing simulation analysis

Assembly process simulation has been recognized as an effective tool for design verification. The representation of actual part surfaces produced by manufacturing processes is an important issue for assembly simulation. Manufactured part surfaces can also be regarded as non-ideal surface morphologies caused by manufacturing errors. This article presents a new approach to describe non-ideal cylindrical surface morphologies. A deviation coordinate system is developed by adding a new deviation dimension along the normal direction of the nominal surface modeled in the cylindrical surface curvilinear coordinate system. Considering characteristics of the cylindrical surface machining process, a unified expression of combined Hermite polynomials and Fourier series is used to demonstrate deviations that commonly appear on manufactured non-ideal cylindrical surfaces. The Hermite–Fourier polynomials constitute multi-morphologies resulting from different manufacturing errors. In the proposed method, a parametric matrix is created from the expansion of the Hermite–Fourier polynomials. Each morphology can be represented by a corresponding matrix. The total deviation of a non-ideal part surface is the sum of deviations caused by each manufacturing error source through a linear combination of various matrices. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a simulation of the sealing function of shaft-hole assemblies.
