Theoretical Foundations for Tuning Parameter Tolerance Design Available to Purchase

In this paper a novel technique is presented to solve tolerance design problems. To achieve the desired performance tolerance, the technique uses a subtle, but significant, change in the design rather than increasing component precision. This change is the addition of a tuning parameter. Statistical models are used to developed a framework for the tuning parameter design method. Also developed is a new dimensionless design parameter which ranks candidate tuning parameters. The step-by-step tuning parameter design method is applied to a heavy duty manual stapler as a clarifying example.
