Abstract: Methods for using predictive shimming to optimize part-to-part alignment. In accordance with one embodiment, the process uses measurement data acquired from mating surfaces and key features to virtually align two parts in a manner that optimizes the final orientation of the parts and determines the geometry of the shim needed to achieve this orientation during assembly.

Abstract: A method of evaluating and validating additive manufacturing operations includes generating a multidimensional space defined by a plurality of bounds, each of the bounds being defined on a distinct parameter of an additive manufacturing process and each of the bounds being directly related to the occurrence of a downskin roughness flaw, each of the parameters being a dimension in a multi-dimensional coordinate system, determining a coordinate position of at least one additive manufacturing operation within the multi-dimensional coordinate system, and categorizing the operation as free of downskin roughness flaws when the coordinate position is within the multi-dimensional space.

Abstract: In a design method of torsion bars used for a trunk lid, free shapes of the torsion bars unhitched from the trunk lid are designed. A center line model of the initial free shape is geometrically and statically created on the basis of a design specification. The center line model of an open shape is created from the free shape model and is deformed into a center line model of a closed modified shape. The center line models of the analyzed closed shape and the target closed shape is compared with each other to obtain a difference torque and a difference vector occurring between corresponding nodes on the center lines. The center line model is so changed as to decrease the difference torque and the difference vector.

Abstract: Method and computer-readable model for additively manufacturing an injector assembly or a ducting arrangement including such assembles, as may be used in a combustion system of a gas turbine engine. The injector assembly may include a reactant-guiding structure (42) that may be configured to define a curvilinear flow path (47) to route a flow of reactants from a first flow direction (50) to a second flow direction (52) toward a cross-flow of combustion gases (60). A cross-flow guiding structure (54) may further define a flow path (58) to route a portion of the cross-flow of combustion gases toward an outlet side of the cross-flow guiding structure. Disclosed injector assemblies can be configured to reduce pressure loss while providing an effective level of mixing of the injected reactants with the passing cross-flow. Respective injector assemblies or the entire ducting arrangement may be formed as a unitized structure, such as a single piece using a rapid manufacturing technology, such as 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology.

Abstract: The simulation of motion for articulated assemblies is important within a range of industries from computer gaming, virtual reality through to android/robot developments and exoskeletons/prosthesis for individuals. However, even low complexity systems with only a small number of moving parts are computationally intractable with respect to analytic solutions. Accordingly, simulations are employed which are themselves complex. It would be beneficial therefore to provide a means of creating actuation and motion sequences for an articulated assembly from a description of the properties of the assembly, the properties of the desired motion, the properties of the terrain over which the assembly will move, and a set of physical laws governing the motion. By framing desired motion within the input parameters allows creation of actuation and motion sequences conforming to the target based upon these four input elements within tolerances which are defined for one or more of input elements or combinations of them.

Abstract: A computing device for determining effective flow areas of a turbine or turbine engine includes optically scanning and digital modeling of turbine components to produce virtual vanes, virtual vane segments, and virtual ring assemblies. The computing device determines both individual effective flow areas between vanes and the total effective flow area of a vane ring assembly. Based on the virtual vanes and determined effective flow areas, the computing device may compare one or more turbine components to a reference turbine to determine whether the turbine is out of specification and aid in repair, modification, or reassembly of the turbine or turbine engine.
