Advanced Tolerancing Techniques

by Hong-Chao Zhang

Overview

Advanced Tolerancing Techniques

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive coverage of new developments in geometric dimensional tolerancing and statistical tolerancing, and to focus on the use of these techniques in a CAD/CAM/CMM environment. The authors explore and explain tolerancing from its history and fundamentals to state-of-the-art techniques. They also describe specialized applications of tolerancing in particular industries, inclduing automobiles, electronics and aerospace.
