The new integrated CAD-CAM systems induce an increasing demand for simulation tools, which are able to simulate industrial part assembly processes by welding, gluing, riveting or bolting(more generally by fastening). Concerning fastened flexible parts, there exist no efficient computational aid on tolerance and methodology available on the field. The first part briefly presents the approach method based on the finite element method for TADA(Tolerance Analysis of Deformable Assemblies). The second part compares the results obtained by simulation using the commercial FEM code with the measurements. The principal elements of dispersion have been identified and studied on an experimental basis in order to test the robustness of the TADA model. This has enabled us to verify the model's possibilities as regards industrial constraints such as the use of incompatible meshes or the use of triangular elements and so on.

Modern manufacturing process requires machine intelligence to meet the demands for high technology products as well as intelligence-based operating skills to lessen human worker's intervene. To meet this trend there has been wide spread interest in applying artificial neural network(ANN) to the areas of manufacturing process monitoring and control. This paper addresses application problems in such processes as welding, assembly, hydroforming process and inspection of solder joints.

It is essential to predict the welding deformation at assembly stage, to increase productivity through mechanization and automation effectively. A practical analysis method appled for production engineering was proposed to simulate the deformation of arc welding, with an analytical model using finite element method solving thermal-elastic-plastic behavior. In this research, for accurate assembling, 3-D thermal-elastic-plastic finite element model is used to simulate the out-of-plane deformation caused by arc welding. Efforts have been made to find out the efficient method to improve the reliability and accuracy of the numerical calculation. Each of theories of small and large deformation is applied in solving 3-D thermal-elastic-plastic problem to compare with their efficiency about calculation imes and solution accuracy. When solid elements are used in a bending problem of a plate, phenomenon that the predictive deformation is more than that of actual survey is observed. To prevent this phenomenon, reduced integration method for element is employed instead of full integration that is generally used in 3-D thermal-elastic-plastic analysis.

This study is about laser welded joints in order to replace the traditional screw connection of a differential gear and its case in the differential gear assembly. Screws are usually used to join these parts. But the screws take up weight and space. So we needed to improve the joining method. In the welding of a differential gear and its case, the quality is much harder to control, because the high carbon contents of the two components results in cold cracks. But a new method that adds wire allows these materials to be joined. Additionally, more distortions generally occurs in the welded joints than in screws. We tried to prove that laser welding is an available method for joining these parts through the measurement and various tests.

Recently, aluminum alloy has used various industry, such as automobile, shipbuilding and aircraft because of characteristics of low density and high corrosion resistance. Al 6061-T6 is heat treatment materials so it has high strength and mostly used for assembly by mechanical fastening such as a bolting and riveting. In GMA (Gas Metal Arc) welding of alloy, some defects which are hot cracking, porosity, low-mechanical properties and large heat affected zone is generated, because of high heat conductivity. It reduces mechanical properties. In this study, the major factor effected on properties are analyzed after welding in Al 6061-T6 in GMAW, then optimize heat treatment conditions. Plate of Al 6061-T6 with a thickness of 12 mm is welded in V groove and applied welding method is butt joint. Mechanical properties and microstructure are analyzed according to heat treatment condition. Tensile strength, microstructure and Hardness are evaluated. Result of research appears that Al 6061-T6 applied heat treatment show outstanding mechanical properties.

Welding deformation reduces the accuracy of ship hull blocks and decreases productivity due to the need for correction work. Preparing an error-minimizing guide at the design stage will lead to higher quality as well as higher productivity. Therefore, developing a precise method to predict the weld deformation is an essential part of it. This paper proposes an efficient method for predicting the weld deformation of complicated structures based on the inherent strain theory combined with the finite element method. A simulation of a stiffened panel confirmed the applicability of this method to simple ship hull blocks.

A silicon lens and an insulator of pyrex, components of a micro-electron column, should be assembled by aligning and stacking simultaneously. An optical alignment of a diffraction beam and a laser welding were employed for the assembly of a source lens and an Einzel lens with precision within $\pm$4% for the maximum aperture size. The experimental condition for optical alignment and laser welding are explained. Anodic bonding was used to assist in stacking lenses. A micro-electron column of smaller apertures assembled with precise alignment and fabrication was tested with a current image of a Cu grid of 9$\mu$m in linewidth, and showed a higher resolution in acceleration mode.
