Description: The importance of proper dimensioning and tolerancing as a means of expressing the designers functional intent and controlling geometric variations is a well established area of engineering. Mechanical Engineering Tolerance research areas and implementations with a special focus on design issues. It features keynote papers on modelling, representation and inspection of tolerances as well as reviews of relevant evolving international standards and future directions. In detail, Geometric Design Tolerancing: theories, standards and applications: Provides an overview of tolerancing, classifies the subfields and illustrates the links between them as indicative of emerging directions and challenges. Discusses state-of-the-art research, working implementation, practical application and case studies. Includes contributions by recognised experts, researchers and practitioners in tolerancing design. £/LIST£ This book provides an excellent resource to anyone interested in computer-aided tolerancing, as well as CAD/CAM users. It will also serve as a good starting point for advanced research activity. The book is derived from the 5th CIRP seminar on Computer-Aided Tolerancing, sponsored by SME, CSME and ASME in Toronto, Canada 1997.
