Parts with complicated freeform shapes have been attracting more attention in industrial applications in recent decades. In most systems, the functional performance of th[...]

The Quality Information Framework (QIF) is a project initiated in 2010 by the Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC is an American Standards Developing Organiz[...]

This research effort includes hundreds of passenger vehicle wheel alignment measurements and a design of experiments that works to capture the various factorsinfluencing [...]

When inspecting a manufactured part to determine whether it falls within tolerance, it is often important to distinguish the difference between a defect and geometric var[...]

Freeform optics have traversed the gap from theoretical to practical application propelled by ultra-precision multi-axis machining, like diamond turning and milling. Util[...]

The motivation of this research is to build systems that precisely control displacement in the presence of external load (both linear and rotation force). To achieve this[...]

This research examines the feasibility of machining components with precise tolerances using machines smaller than the completed part. This can conceptually be achieved i[...]

A geometric bowtie design for the purpose of mimicking (matching) and/or mitigating (reducing) the thermal expansion effects between two laterally opposing structures is [...]

Additive manufacturing (AM) surfaces offer the possibility of novel cooling channel geometries for high temperature applications. AM processes can optimize the internal g[...]
