Abstract: | Tolerance is one of the most important parameters in design and manufacturing. The allocation of design and machining tolerances has a significant impact on manufacturing cost and product quality. This article presents an analytical model for simultaneously allocating design and machining tolerances based on the least-manufacturing-cost criterion. In this study, tolerance allocation is formulated as a non-linear optimisation model based on the cost-tolerance relationship. A new global optimisation algorithm, simulated annealing, is employed to solve the non-linear programming problem. An example for illustrating the optimisation model and the solution procedure is provided. |
