Title: Beam-based Variation Propagation Model at a Preliminary Design Stage

Description:

 Early design stage of product and process requires development of model representing incomplete knowledge about product design. This paper addresses this issue by discretizing the product into Key Characteristics (part-to-part joint, part-to-fixture mating surface, cross section changing) and then modeling their relations in the form of beam elements. This allows carrying variation information on in the parts flow station-by-station. The developed multi-station model is formulated as state space model, which integrates beam-based model of products and subassemblies, fixture locating, clamping layout and part-to-part joints.

  • Beam-based modeling of vehicle body structure has shown 95% stiffness accuracy (Chon, 1986)

  • Beam-based model is capable to model product and process with incomplete CAD/CAM information at preliminary design stage.
