Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis

Logic, mathematics and a reliable methodology are combined in this text/workbook to create one of the most comprehensive treatments of the topic of tolerance stack-up analysis ever written. This book is an essential component in the library of anyone tasked with the analysis, application or interpretation of assembly and product tolerances. It is an easy to follow text for either self-study or classroom use. Showing the techniques and mindset necessary to perform loop/circuit analysis on both plus and minus tolerances and geometric tolerances, it calculates minimum and maximum gaps (airspaces), interfrences, maximum housing requirements, minimum and maximum wall thickness. It uses logic to determine physical possibilities and to include and exclude stack-up factors. It employs the mathematics of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, geometry and proportions to detemine worst-case conditions. It teaches a proven stack-up process that leads the reader through progressively more and more complex analyses.
