Effects of assembly errors and bonding defects on the centroid drift of a precision sleeve structure

Adhesive joints are widely used in precision electromechanical products, and their bonding process has significant effects on the performance of an assembled product. This paper presents a numerical study on the bonding assembly of a sleeve structure of a precision inertial device using a finite element method, where the stresses due to curing and relaxation behaviors are considered. The effects of assembly errors and bonding defects on the...
