...Raffaele Di Gregorio; Henrique Simas; Roberto Simoni Geometric Design and Tolerancing (GD&T) is the language that specifies several design features and, in this paper, is used to deal with the tolerances of Translational Parallel Manipulators (TPMs). TPMs intend to make a platform have only...

... range of design parameters (called a design range) from product specifications and tolerances. Then, within the design range, the bottom-up procedure optimizes design specifications and tolerances in order to minimize a product cost. A product cost is defined as a sum of component costs, each of which...

.... Finally, the tolerance of the design space will be maximized under given performance constraints. A simulation example is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust design method. approximation theory design engineering eigenvalues and eigenfunctions model uncertainty...

... matrix can still be processed by the traditional robust design approach. By minimizing the eigenvalue sensitivity, design parameters can be obtained for stability as well as robustness. Furthermore, the tolerance space of the selected parameters can be maximized to improve robust performance. A Laval...
