日本課題的目的意義（含國(guó)內(nèi)外的研究現(xiàn)狀分析）機(jī)床夾具是機(jī)械制造工藝系統(tǒng)重要的組成部分，其實(shí)現(xiàn)工件定位和夾緊； 使工件加工時(shí)相對(duì)于機(jī)床刀具有正確的位置； 以保證工件的加工精度。其質(zhì)量的高低直接影響到零件制造的質(zhì)量、工人的勞動(dòng)強(qiáng)度、產(chǎn)品成本和生產(chǎn)率。通過(guò)機(jī)床夾具的設(shè)計(jì)，提高設(shè)計(jì)、計(jì)算、分析問(wèn)題和解決問(wèn)題的能力，綜合運(yùn)用計(jì)算機(jī)繪圖能力、表達(dá)技術(shù)問(wèn)題的能力以及開拓創(chuàng)新的能力等。通過(guò)本夾緊機(jī)構(gòu)的設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)而掌握一般機(jī)床夾具的一般方法、步驟和技巧，從而達(dá)到掌握一般機(jī)械的設(shè)計(jì)方法和技巧，綜合運(yùn)用所學(xué)的知識(shí)來(lái)解決工程實(shí)際問(wèn)題。機(jī)床夾具是用以裝夾工件和引導(dǎo)刀具的附加裝置。主要用于金屬切削加工，在機(jī)床與工件、刀具之間起橋梁作用，是工藝系統(tǒng)中的一個(gè)重要環(huán)節(jié)。它可準(zhǔn)確地確定工件與刀具、機(jī)床的相對(duì)位置，確保加工質(zhì)量；它可以提高生產(chǎn)效率，確保勞動(dòng)強(qiáng)度；它可以擴(kuò)大或改變機(jī)床的使用范圍等。因此，機(jī)床夾具是保證機(jī)械加工工藝過(guò)程正常進(jìn)行的技術(shù)硬件之一。綜上所訴，需要對(duì)零件進(jìn)行夾具設(shè)計(jì)。設(shè)計(jì)(論文)的基本條件及設(shè)計(jì)(論文)依據(jù)零件圖1張，材料為45鋼設(shè)計(jì)夾具的主要依據(jù) (1) 根據(jù)給定的生產(chǎn)量大小來(lái)確定夾具類型。 (2) 根據(jù)本單位的先有生產(chǎn)條件，注意充分發(fā)揮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)技術(shù)條件手段和技術(shù)力量的潛力來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)夾具。本課題的主要內(nèi)容、重點(diǎn)解決的問(wèn)題主要內(nèi)容:

年 月 日先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的發(fā)展1我國(guó)制造業(yè)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)世紀(jì)之交，世界的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)和技術(shù)發(fā)生了前所未有的巨大變化，經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化正在形成。信息技術(shù)對(duì)制造業(yè)產(chǎn)生了極其深刻和全面的影響，使制造業(yè)的發(fā)展打上了明顯的信息化烙印。經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化和信息化使制造業(yè)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)環(huán)境、發(fā)展模式及運(yùn)行效率與活動(dòng)空間等發(fā)生了深刻變化，這些變化對(duì)我國(guó)制造業(yè)提出了嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)，同時(shí)也為實(shí)現(xiàn)我國(guó)制造業(yè)的跨越式發(fā)展提供了有利條件和機(jī)遇。1.1制造業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)環(huán)境的變化隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化進(jìn)程的加快，出現(xiàn)了新的國(guó)際分工格局：發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家主要發(fā)展知識(shí)密集型的高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)和服務(wù)業(yè)，而把勞動(dòng)和資源密集型的產(chǎn)業(yè)向發(fā)展中國(guó)家轉(zhuǎn)移。經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化的浪潮和我國(guó)加入WTO，使我國(guó)正在逐步成為世界的重要制造基地?？鐕?guó)公司紛紛在我國(guó)投資建立企業(yè)和技術(shù)中心，國(guó)外產(chǎn)品大舉進(jìn)入中國(guó)。這使產(chǎn)品的市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)更加激烈，也使得我國(guó)制造企業(yè)必須直接同跨國(guó)公司在技術(shù)、資源、人才等方面進(jìn)行正面競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。面對(duì)如此嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)，我國(guó)制造業(yè)只能背水一戰(zhàn)，加快技術(shù)升級(jí)的步伐，提高企業(yè)綜合競(jìng)爭(zhēng)能力。1.2制造業(yè)發(fā)展模式的變化信息化提高了生產(chǎn)要素的信息屬性，促使企業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)模式從自然資源和人力的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)轉(zhuǎn)向創(chuàng)新能力和創(chuàng)造高附加值產(chǎn)品的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)；信息化使得知識(shí)的重要性凸顯，人才成為競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)的重要因素；信息化促使企業(yè)管理由金字塔型結(jié)構(gòu)向扁平型結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)變。經(jīng)營(yíng)思想由粗放型向集約型轉(zhuǎn)變，出現(xiàn)了各種先進(jìn)制造模式，如并行工程、敏捷制造、網(wǎng)絡(luò)化制造和虛擬制造等，為我國(guó)企業(yè)向先進(jìn)制造模式轉(zhuǎn)變、提升我國(guó)制造企業(yè)的水平和能力提供了可以借鑒的模式。1.3制造企業(yè)運(yùn)行效率與活動(dòng)空間的變化信息化促進(jìn)了國(guó)際金融市場(chǎng)的快速發(fā)展，不僅保障了跨國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)的正常運(yùn)行，而且提高了資金在全球的流動(dòng)速度；信息化可以大大縮短產(chǎn)品上市時(shí)間，提高產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量，降低生產(chǎn)消耗和交易成本，提高資源利用率，從而大幅度提高制造企業(yè)的效率；信息化使企業(yè)在規(guī)模、經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力和創(chuàng)新能力等方面得到了空前的發(fā)展，跨國(guó)公司的力量進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)；信息化和經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化打破了國(guó)界的阻隔，跨國(guó)經(jīng)營(yíng)日益普遍，國(guó)際貿(mào)易高速增長(zhǎng)，國(guó)際投資日趨活躍，為企業(yè)發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了廣闊空間。我國(guó)的制造業(yè)在國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)中占有重要的地位，在工業(yè)化的進(jìn)程中又同時(shí)面；臨著信息化的艱巨任務(wù)。中共中央提出的“用信息化帶動(dòng)制造業(yè)現(xiàn)代化，用高新技術(shù)改造制造業(yè)，以實(shí)現(xiàn)制造業(yè)跨越發(fā)展”戰(zhàn)略，為我國(guó)發(fā)展先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)指明了方向。2我國(guó)制造業(yè)存在的主要差距由于我國(guó)工業(yè)化進(jìn)程起步較晚，與國(guó)際先進(jìn)水平相比，我國(guó)的制造業(yè)和制造技術(shù)還存在著階段性差距。為了迎接經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化和信息化的挑戰(zhàn)，迫切需要解決以下幾方面的問(wèn)題。a產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新能力較差，開發(fā)周期較長(zhǎng)。我國(guó)機(jī)械制造業(yè)的新產(chǎn)品貢獻(xiàn)率約為18.09（20O0年），而美國(guó)已經(jīng)達(dá)到52左右（1995年）。我國(guó)大中型企業(yè)生產(chǎn)的 2 000多種主導(dǎo)產(chǎn)品的平均生命周期為105年，是美國(guó)同類產(chǎn)品生命周期的35倍。我國(guó)有8O以上的企業(yè)生產(chǎn)能力利用不足或嚴(yán)重不足，但同時(shí)每年還要進(jìn)口數(shù)以千億美元國(guó)內(nèi)短缺的產(chǎn)品。b制造工藝裝備落后，成套能力不強(qiáng)。我國(guó)大多數(shù)企業(yè)目前還采用較落后的制造工藝與技術(shù)裝備進(jìn)行生產(chǎn)，優(yōu)質(zhì)高效低耗工藝的普及率不足10，數(shù)控機(jī)床、精密設(shè)備不足 5，配有國(guó)產(chǎn)數(shù)控系統(tǒng)的中檔數(shù)控機(jī)床不超過(guò) 25，高檔數(shù)控機(jī)床的90以上依賴進(jìn)口；我國(guó)在大型成套裝備技術(shù)方面嚴(yán)重落后， 100的光纖制造裝備、85的集成電路（IC）制造裝備、 80的石化裝備、 70的轎車工業(yè)裝備都依賴進(jìn)口。C生產(chǎn)自動(dòng)化和優(yōu)化水平不高，資源綜合利用率低。我國(guó)平均勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率為0263萬(wàn)美元，而美國(guó)、日本和印度分別為9.37萬(wàn)美元、10.47萬(wàn)美元和0.34萬(wàn)美元；我國(guó)的能源綜合利用率僅為32左右，比國(guó)外的先進(jìn)水平低IO多個(gè)百分點(diǎn)；我國(guó)每萬(wàn)元國(guó)民生產(chǎn)總值的能耗比發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家高4倍多，主要產(chǎn)品單位能耗比發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家高3090，工業(yè)排放的污染物超過(guò)發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家1O倍以上。d企業(yè)管理粗放，協(xié)作能力較差，國(guó)際市場(chǎng)開拓能力弱。我國(guó)多數(shù)企業(yè)缺少現(xiàn)代化管理的概念、方法和手段，眾多的企業(yè)尚處于經(jīng)驗(yàn)管理階段，企業(yè)機(jī)構(gòu)臃腫，富裕人員一般多達(dá) 3O 4O。我國(guó)機(jī)械工業(yè)的專業(yè)化水平僅為1530，而美國(guó)、西歐諸國(guó)、日本企業(yè)的專業(yè)化水平已經(jīng)達(dá)到7595，小而全、大而全的“莊園式企業(yè)”缺乏快速響應(yīng)市場(chǎng)需求的能力。經(jīng)過(guò)20多年的努力，我國(guó)出口商品占世界市場(chǎng)份額從0.5提高到目前的35，但是根據(jù)近3年的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)分析，高附加值和高技術(shù)含量的出口商品僅占我國(guó)出口商品總量的10左右。e戰(zhàn)略必爭(zhēng)裝備和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)前核心技術(shù)的開發(fā)相對(duì)薄弱。戰(zhàn)略必爭(zhēng)裝備涉及國(guó)家安全和經(jīng)濟(jì)命脈，對(duì)國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)有重大影響。競(jìng)爭(zhēng)前核心技術(shù)在未來(lái)的國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中有可能開拓新的廣闊市場(chǎng)或成為新的重大關(guān)鍵技術(shù)。例如：用于海洋資源開發(fā)的水下作業(yè)裝備，用于高精尖設(shè)備制造的超精密加工裝備，面向IT等產(chǎn)業(yè)的集成電路制造關(guān)鍵裝備，對(duì)未來(lái)許多行業(yè)將產(chǎn)生重大影響的微機(jī)電系統(tǒng)（MEMS）以及集高技術(shù)于一身的仿人形機(jī)器人等。由于國(guó)外的技術(shù)封鎖，這些裝備和技術(shù)是花錢也很難買到的，必須靠自己的力量加以解決。綜上所述，我國(guó)的制造業(yè)和制造技術(shù)還不能很好滿足國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和參與國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的需要。不解決上述問(wèn)題，中國(guó)的制造業(yè)就不能在激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中生存和發(fā)展。為了使我國(guó)制造業(yè)在國(guó)內(nèi)、國(guó)際市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中立于不敗之地，為了盡快形成我國(guó)自主創(chuàng)新和跨越發(fā)展的先進(jìn)制造技術(shù)體系，積極發(fā)展和應(yīng)用先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)刻不容緩，勢(shì)在必行。3 先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀世界各國(guó)十分重視發(fā)展先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)，許多跨國(guó)公司應(yīng)用先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)了設(shè)計(jì)、制造后理和經(jīng)營(yíng)的一體化，加強(qiáng)了在國(guó)際市場(chǎng)的壟斷地位。例如，美國(guó)波音公司在波音777客機(jī)的研制中，由于使用了先進(jìn)的產(chǎn)品開發(fā)設(shè)計(jì)技術(shù)，使開發(fā)周期從過(guò)去的89年縮短到45年，縮短了40以上。成本降低25，出錯(cuò)返工率降低75，用戶滿意度也大幅度提高。美國(guó)通用汽車公司應(yīng)用現(xiàn)代集成制造系統(tǒng)技術(shù)，將轎車的開發(fā)周期由原來(lái)的48個(gè)月縮短到了24個(gè)月，碰撞試驗(yàn)的次數(shù)由原來(lái)的幾百次降到幾十次，應(yīng)用電子商務(wù)技術(shù)降低銷售成本

Mobil石油公司應(yīng)用先進(jìn)的綜合自動(dòng)化技術(shù)后，使企業(yè)的效益提高58，勞動(dòng)生產(chǎn)率提高例15；機(jī)器人技術(shù)與自動(dòng)化工藝裝備的核心技術(shù)一直受到世界各國(guó)的重視，面向未來(lái)服務(wù)的水下機(jī)器人、微機(jī)器人。醫(yī)用機(jī)器人、仿人形機(jī)器人等特種機(jī)器人，面向國(guó)防、航空、航天等方面的超精密加工裝備，面向基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)的智能化大型工程機(jī)械，面向制造業(yè)的高精度、高效率、低成本和高柔性基礎(chǔ)制造裝備等已成為目前的研究開發(fā)重點(diǎn)。先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)已經(jīng)成為帶動(dòng)制造業(yè)發(fā)展的重要推動(dòng)力。為了占領(lǐng)先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的制高點(diǎn)，許多國(guó)家提出了跨世紀(jì)的研究計(jì)劃。例如，美國(guó)政府提出了美國(guó)國(guó)家關(guān)鍵技術(shù)、先進(jìn)制造技術(shù)計(jì)劃、敏捷制造與制造技術(shù)計(jì)劃和下一代制造（NGM）等計(jì)劃；在歐共體的尤里卡計(jì)劃（EUREKA）、信息技術(shù)研究發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃（ESPRIT）和第五屆框架研究計(jì)劃中，與先進(jìn)制造技術(shù)有關(guān)的項(xiàng)目占有相當(dāng)大的比重；德國(guó)政府提出了制造2000計(jì)劃、微系統(tǒng)2000計(jì)劃和面向未來(lái)的生產(chǎn)等計(jì)劃；日本的智能制造系統(tǒng)計(jì)劃、極限作業(yè)機(jī)器人研究計(jì)劃、微機(jī)器研究計(jì)劃和仿人形機(jī)器人研究計(jì)劃；英國(guó)的國(guó)家納米技術(shù)計(jì)劃（NION）；韓國(guó)的高級(jí)先進(jìn)技術(shù)國(guó)家計(jì)劃（G7計(jì)劃）等。這些國(guó)家均將先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)列為重要研究?jī)?nèi)容。通過(guò)政府、企業(yè)、大學(xué)和科研院所的合作實(shí)施，這些計(jì)劃大大促進(jìn)了先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的發(fā)展。近10多年來(lái)，我國(guó)有關(guān)部門有計(jì)劃地部署了一系列國(guó)家級(jí)重點(diǎn)科技項(xiàng)目，有效地促進(jìn)了我國(guó)先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的研究與應(yīng)用推廣，如。科技部組織實(shí)施的863計(jì)劃的CIMS主題、智能機(jī)器人主題，“九五”國(guó)家科技攻關(guān)計(jì)劃的CAD應(yīng)用工程、精密制造技術(shù)開發(fā)與應(yīng)用、數(shù)控技術(shù)與裝備、現(xiàn)場(chǎng)總線控制技術(shù)開發(fā)與應(yīng)用、工業(yè)機(jī)器人應(yīng)用、激光技術(shù)應(yīng)用等重點(diǎn)項(xiàng)目；總裝備部（原國(guó)防科工委）在“九五”期間，組織實(shí)施了我國(guó)武器裝備先進(jìn)制造技術(shù)的發(fā)展項(xiàng)目；航空。航天、兵器和機(jī)械等許多行業(yè)和部門在“九五”期間組織實(shí)施了行業(yè)先進(jìn)制造技術(shù)項(xiàng)目；國(guó)家計(jì)委、經(jīng)貿(mào)委等部委在用高技術(shù)改造傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)方面也推行了一系列計(jì)劃。上述計(jì)劃和項(xiàng)目極大地推動(dòng)了我國(guó)先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的發(fā)展。綜觀各國(guó)先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)計(jì)劃的制定和實(shí)施情況可以看到，先進(jìn)制造和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的發(fā)展有其深刻的國(guó)際經(jīng)濟(jì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)背景。這些先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)計(jì)劃提出時(shí)，即以提高本國(guó)制造業(yè)的國(guó)際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)能力、促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)和提高國(guó)家綜合實(shí)力為目標(biāo)，既注重技術(shù)的超前性，更重視來(lái)自產(chǎn)業(yè)界的實(shí)際需求；在關(guān)鍵技術(shù)的選擇上注重系統(tǒng)集成技術(shù)與工藝裝備研究開發(fā)并重，通過(guò)系統(tǒng)技術(shù)、信息技術(shù)和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的引入，提高制造企業(yè)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)能力；同時(shí)也可以看到，各國(guó)在發(fā)展先進(jìn)制造與自動(dòng)化技術(shù)的過(guò)程中，政府通過(guò)若干計(jì)劃的實(shí)施起到了關(guān)鍵的引導(dǎo)和調(diào)控作用，并形成了一套有效的研究開發(fā)及推廣應(yīng)用的管理機(jī)制和創(chuàng)新機(jī)制。4

Workpiece Location Accuracy Through Fixture Layout OptimizationAbstractInaccuracies in workpiece location lead to errors in position and orientation of a machined feature on the workpiece. The ability to accurately locate a workpiece in a machining fixture is strongly influenced by rigid body displacements of the workpiece caused by elastic deformation of loaded fixture-workpiece contacts. This paper presents a model for improving workpiece location accuracy in fixturing. A discrete elastic contact model is used to represent each fixture-workpiece contact. Reduction in workpiece locating error due to rigid body displacements is achieved through optimal placement of locators and clamps around the workpiece. The layout optimization model is also shown to improve the overall workpiece deflection and reaction force characteristics.1.IntroductionThe accuracy of location of a machined feature depends on the machining fixtures ability to precisely locate the workpiece relative to the machine tool axes. Workpiece location in a fixture is significantly influenced by localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points. These deformations are caused by the clamping force(s) applied to the workpiece. For a relatively rigid workpiece the localized elastic deformations cause it to undergo rigid body translations and rotations which alter its location with respect to the cutting tool. It is therefore important to minimize such effects through optimal design of the fixture layout.Previous work in fixture layout optimization has focused on the use of finite element and rigid body models. Menassa and DeVries 1, Rearick et al. 2, Trappey et al. 3, and Cai et al 4 used finite element models of the fixture-workpiece system as input to the layout optimization. In these works the fixture layout design is formulated as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The goal is to determine the positions of locator-clamp pairs that will minimize a nonlinear function of the elastic deformation at selected points on the workpiece. Such a formulation requires solution of the complete finite element model during each iteration of the optimization process. Hence, the technique is computationally intensive.DeMeter 5 presented a min-max algorithm to determine the optimal fixture layout and clamping force intensity that minimizes the maximum contact force. In this study the workpiece and fixture were assumed to be perfectly rigid. Such a formulation does not allow the effect of workpiece displacement on locating errors to be minimized directly. Recently, Gui et al 6 reported a model for improving workpiece location accuracy by optimizing the clamping force. They model the elasticity of fixtureworkpiece contacts using linear springs of known stiffness. However, methods for determining the contact stiffness are not addressed. In addition, the fixture layout is assumed fixed for a given workpiece and cutting force system. This paper presents a method that directly minimizes workpiece location errors due to localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points by optimally placing the locators and clamps around the workpiece. The method considers the fixtureworkpiece contact to be linearly elastic and uses closed-form contact stiffness models derived from well-known contact mechanics problems. Also, the method outlined here is computationally less intensive than the finite element approach. The following sections give details of the underlying models and constraints used to formulate the fixture layout optimization procedure. Model simulations are presented to demonstrate the ability of the method to minimize workpiece location errors through optimal arrangement of locators and clamps.2.Fixture Layout Optimization Fixture layout optimization requires formulation of an objective function and constraints. In this paper our objective is to minimize the effect of localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points on workpiece location. As stated earlier, the elastic deformations cause the workpiece to undergo a rigid body motion, which in turn shifts the workpiece location. The objective function for optimization is constructed as follows. Objective Function Formulation. Consider a solid rectangular workpiece held in a fixture consisting of several locators and clamps (see Figure 1). The fixture is typically very rigid compared to the workpiece. It can hence be assumed that the locators do not undergo any rigid body displacement. In contrast, forces acting on the workpiece at the locating and clamping points cause the workpiece to translate and rotate in the global coordinate system. Assume that the rigid body motion of the workpiece due to normal and tangential elastic deformations at the ith fixturing point is given by vector i= xiyizi T . Note that the components of i are expressed in the local coordinate system fixed to the ith point. Geometric transformations are applied so that the rigid bodymotion due to deformation at the ith fixturing point is expressed in the global coordinatesystem as: where Tgi is a general rotation matrix that transforms quantities expressed in the ith local coordinate system into the global coordinate system. Thus, the total rigid body motion ofthe workpiece due to elastic deformations at all the fixturing points is: where N is the total number of locators and clamps.In order to minimize the effect of rigid body motion on workpiece location, a quadratic objective function for fixture layout optimization can now be formulated as follows:Note that the above expression is not an explicit function of the fixture element positions.But the rigid body motion i , and therefore , is dependent on the fixturing forces which are in turn uniquely determined by the layout of fixturing points and elastic contact properties. Hence, changing the fixture layout changes the value of the objective function indirectly.Fixture-Workpiece Contact Constraints. The fixture-workpiece system is subject toseveral contact constraints that the optimum fixture layout must also satisfy. In particular, constraints specifying the geometric compatibility of elastic deformation andfrictional resistance are needed. These constraints are developed using a discrete elasticcontact modeling approach similar to that of Conry and Seireg 7, and Sinha and Abel8.The workpiece is assumed to be elastic in the contact region and rigid elsewhere.The fixture is assumed to be completely rigid. At each fixturing point a square contact surface tangent to the fixture and workpiece surfaces is assumed. The contact surface isdiscretized into a grid containing M square elements as shown in Figure 2. A distributed normal force of intensity p ji and a distributed friction force of intensity (q) (q) xjiyj2 i 2 +are assumed to act across an arbitrary element j of the ith contact surface. The total normal ( Pi ) and friction (Qi ) forces acting at the ith fixturing point are then given by:The localized deformation at a fixturing point causes distant points in the workpiece to undergo a rigid body motion in the normal direction given by zi . If s ji isthe initial separation of the fixture and workpiece surfaces for the jth element at the ith fixturing point, the normal deformation, wji , must satisfy the following contact condition9:The equality sign applies to points that lie inside the equilibrium contact area and theinequality sign for outside points.Orthogonal components of tangential deformation, uji and v ji , produced by the frictional forces acting at a fixturing point lead to tangential rigid body motions xiy, i ,respectively. The deformation and rigid body motion should satisfy the following geometric compatibility conditions 9:where the equality and inequality signs apply for slip and no slip cases, respectively.Contact Deformation Model.The workpiece is assumed to be a linear elastic solid in the vicinity of the fixturing points. Hence, by linear superposition, the normal deformation in the jth element of the ith contact region can be written as: where e e e jknjkxjk, , y are the flexibility influence coefficients for deformation in the normal direction due to fixturing forces in the normal (n) and tangential directions (x, y).Similarly, the x and y components of tangential deformation are given by: where are the normal and tangential flexibility influence coefficients for workpiece deformation in the local x and y directions at the ith fixturing point, respectively.In this paper the influence coefficients are derived from closed-form solutions forthe contact compliance of an elastic half-space subjected to distributed normal and tangential loads. Details of the influence coefficient models may be found in 8, 9.Contact Friction Constraint. Coulomb friction is assumed to apply at each fixturing point. This implies a nonlinear relation between the normal and frictional forces acting at a fixturing point, i.e., (q) (q) p xj where s is the coefficient of static friction for the fixture-workpiece material pair. For simplicity, a linearized version of this constraint is used: Static Equilibrium Constraint. The workpiece must be in static equilibrium after application of fixturing forces at the selected points. This constraint is given by the following force and moment equilibrium equations: F = 0 (12) M = 0 (13)where the forces and moments are expressed in terms of the elemental normal ( p ji ) and tangential forces ( qxji , qyji ) acting at the contact surface for each fixturing point.Clamping Force Constraint. When the clamping force applied by the clamps isspecified, it is necessary that the sum of the elemental normal forces at the clampingpoint equal the specified force. This constraint is expressed as follows: where C is the number of clamps in the fixture. In this paper the clamping force isassumed to be known. In general however the clamping force could be treated as adesign variable in the layout optimization process 5.Fixture Element Position Constraints. The fixture layout optimization procedure seeksto find the optimal locations of the fixturing points. In general, fixture element positionson a workpiece datum surface cannot be chosen randomly and are often constrained bythe geometric complexity of the workpiece surfaces, size and location of the features tobe machined, and other process related issues. Hence, the position of a fixture element isrestricted to a bounded region on the datum surface. In this paper each fixture elementposition is constrained to lie inside a convex polygonal region. A sequence of orderedstraight edges represents each convex polygon. Mathematically, the system of linearinequalities constructed from the line equations for all ordered edges (for N fixturingpoints) is used to specify the bounded region:A X C p p p (15)WhereAndThe elements of Ai and ci are coefficients of the line equations of the polygon edges usedto specify the polygon boundary for the ith point, xi is the position vector (global) to the ithpoint on the workpiece surface, and li is the number of ordered edges making up thebounding polygon for the ith point.The above inequalities can now be used to easily establish the location of afixturing point relative to its polygon boundary. Points inside or on the boundarycompletely satisfy the above inequalities whereas points outside the bounded region do not 10.Layout Optimization Model. The complete fixture layout optimization problem cannow be formally stated as follows:Minimize ：Subject to:Bounds: pji 0i = 1, , N; j = 1, , M; k = 1, , CNote that the normal compatibility constraint has been multiplied by -1 to convert it intoa type inequality. Also, by definition, the friction force components qxji and qxji lie inthe contact surface plane, and p ji is assumed to be positive when directed into the9workpiece surface.3.Solution MethodA nonlinear programming method is used to solve the above layout optimizationproblem. Specifically, Zoutendijks method of feasible direction 11 is used. Thismethod is similar to that used by DeMeter 5 and involves the solution of the followinggeneral nonlinear program:Minimize f(x)Subject to Gx b (linear inequality constraint)H(x) = 0 (nonlinear equality constraint)Ex = e (linear equality constraint)where x is the feasible solution. For the nonlinear program given in equation (16) thesolution x =F X pT where:Note that in addition to position of the fixturing points, Xp, the solution procedure treatsthe fixturing forces F and rigid body motion also as design variables during theoptimization process. This is because the fixturing forces and rigid body motion dependon the fixture layout and are determined uniquely for each layout by the physics of theproblem.The first linear inequality constraint is constructed by combining all the inequality constraints given in equation (16). The second nonlinear constraint arises from themoment equilibrium equation in (16). Finally, the linear equality constraint equation isconstructed by combining all the equality constraints listed in (16). For the problem athand, G, H, and E result in matrices with the following sizes: (4MN+N liiN= 1) x(3MN+6N), 3 x (3MN+6N), and (3+C) x (3MN+6N). Note that x is a (3MN+6N) x1 column vector.The method of feasible directions solves the nonlinear program by moving from a initial feasible solution to an improved feasible solution. This is accomplished in four steps: a) find initial feasible solution, b) determine line search direction, c) determine step size, d) solve quadratic program. By iterating between steps (b) and (d) furtherimprovements in the feasible solution can be obtained. Mathematical details of step (b)through (d) can be found in reference 11.The initial feasible solution x is obtained by solving the elastic fixture-workpiececontact model for the initial layout. This is done by minimizing the total complementaryenergy for the fixture-workpiece system. Details of the solution procedure andexperimental validation can be found in 7, 8, 12. Note that the contact model needs tobe solved only once at the beginning to obtain the initial feasible solution. Thereafter,the layout optimization model relies on the contact constraints and the contactdeformation model to compute valid rigid body displacements and fixturing forces.4.Results and DiscussionThe fixture layout optimization model and solution algorithm has been implemented in MATLAB (version 5.0). The capability of the model is illustrated through an example. Consider the initial fixture layout shown in Figure 3. This layout uses a 4-2-1 location scheme with two simultaneously actuated hydraulic clamps to hold the workpiece against the locators. Table 1 lists the positions and orientations of thefixture elements in the initial layout. Locators L1-L4 and clamps C1-C2 have sphericaltips while locators L5-L7 have small area planar tips (area = 63 mm2). A clamping forceof 703 N is assumed to act at each clamping point. The workpiece is a 127mm x 127mmx 382 mm block of Aluminum 7075-T6. The Youngs modulus (E) and Poissons ratio() for the workpiece are 70.3 GPa and 0.354 respectively, and 201 GPa and 0.296respectively for the fixture elements.The initial feasible solution vector x is computed by solving the fixture-workpiececontact model for the initial fixture layout using the minimum complementary energymethod. The layout optimization problem is then solved using the four step iterationprocedure outlined in the previous section. The fixture element position constraints usedfor this problem are given in Table 2. The improved fixture layout that minimizes the11effects of rigid body motion is given in Table 1. The objective function value is reducedfrom 528 m2 to 426 m2.The impact of the optimization process on the fixture layout is shown in Figure 4.The initial fixture layout was intentionally designed to violate well-known empirical“l(fā)ocating rules” 13. For instance, it is standard practice to position the locators on adatum surface as far apart as possible. This is done to ensure the best possible locationalstability of the workpiece. In the initial layout, locators L1-L2 and L4-L7 clearly do notsatisfy this rule. Also, the initial position of clamps C1 and C2 do not provide adequateclamping stability. It is clear from Figure 4 and Table 1 that the layout optimizationmodel gives a solution that supports the empirical rules. Specifically, L1 and L2 arepushed as far apart as possible. Also, locators L4-L7 are spread out on the primarydatum plane so as to include the projected center of gravity of the workpiece inside thebounding polygon formed by joining L4-L7. This improves workpiece stability in thefixture. The new position of clamp C1 is approximately half-way between locators L1and L2. Similarly, clamp C2 and locator L3 directly oppose each other in the improved lay out.If, for simplicity, only the normal component of rigid body motion ( z ) isconsidered, it can be shown through suitable geometric transformations that the locationerror, Ep, of a point P on the workpiece is reduced by the optimization process surface(see Figure 5). For instance, the location error of the point (30, 100, 19.1) decreases from15.3 m for the initial fixture layout to 11.7 m for the improved layout. Thus, thefixture layout optimization model and solution procedure described above improve workpiece location accuracy by minimizing the effect of workpiece rigid bodydisplacement.Finite Element Analysis. In order to further analyze the effect of the fixturelayout optimization process on overall workpiece deformation a finite element model wasconstructed using ANSYS (version 5.3). The locators were modeled as displacementconstraints that prevent workpiece translation in the normal direction. The clampingforce was modeled as a uniformly distributed force acting over the workpiece-clampcontact area.The deflection of the top surface of the workpiece (i.e., the surface to bemachined) is shown for the initial and improved fixture layouts in Figures 6 and 7,respectively. The initial fixture layout shows a significant deflection gradient across thetop surface of the workpiece. Deflection magnitudes range from 0.25 x 10-4 mm to 0.76 x10-2 mm. In general a large variation in deflection magnitudes is not desirable. On theother hand, the improved fixture layout produces a relatively uniform distribution ofdeflections that range from 0.10 x 10-2 mm to 0.19 x 10-2 mm. The maximum deflectionof the top surface is much less for the improved layout (0.19 x 10-2 mm compared to 0.76x 10-2 mm). Also, the reaction forces at L1 and L2 are 638.05 N and 65.31 Nrespectively for the initial layout, and 327.20 N and 376.16 N respectively for theimproved layout. Thus reaction forces in the improved layout are more uniformlydistributed than the initial layout.Therefore the optimization process produces a fixture layout that improves theoverall workpiece deflection and reaction force characteristics in addition to improvingworkpiece location accuracy.5.ConclusionsThe paper presented a fixture layout optimization model for improving thelocation accuracy of the workpiece when clamped in a machining fixture. Theinaccuracy in workpiece location was due to rigid body motion of the workpieceproduced by the localized elastic deformation at the fixturing points.
