Research on Angular Variation for Aeroplane-Assembly Base on State Space Model

Abstract. Variation modeling is one of the most significant tools for assembly variation analysis. Considering dimension and geometric errors, and part situation errors, the error source that affects assembly accuracy is classified into two types: error of geometric location and orientation, error of geometric form. And unify these different types of error or deviation by the concept of Virtual Fixture. So a rigid assembly state space model is developed for stream of variation analysis in multi-station assembly processes. And an aeroplane-cabin-assembly process is analyzed in this model. The developed methodology outperforms the current simulation based techniques in computation efficiency, the model is validated using Monte Carlo series Simulations.
