Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The purpose of this programme is to investigate the kinematic properties and features and of components used in the building airframe assemblies. These features will be assessed in relation to the ability of mating components accurately and uniquely to be located relative to each other. Much of the traditional tooling, which supports and give geometrical accuracy to the progressing assembly operations, can be dispensed with by suitable incorporation at the component design stage. This is known as Fly-Away Tooling. |Formal methods in kinematics will be used to analyse existing, and to propose new feature. A prgramme for more general later work will be defined; a PhD will be gained by the student.
