Assembly: Mechanism Theory
This lecture covers the problem statement of assembly, precision assembly, and the introduction to Design For Assembly (DFA) principles. It discusses the cost of an assembly, the notion of assembly, precision requirements, common couplings, stability, positioning errors, spatial vectors, force, and velocity. The lecture also delves into graph theory, degrees of freedom, mobility analysis, and the methodologies for optimizing assembly design. It emphasizes the importance of Design For Assembly (DFA) and Design For Manufacturing (DFM) principles in reducing costs and optimizing manufacturing processes.
