1、附录Machining fixture locating and clamping position optimization using genetic algorithmsFixtures are used to locate and constrain a workpiece during a machining operation, minimizing workpiece and fixture tooling deflections due to clamping and cutting forces are critical to ensuring accuracy of the
2、 machining operation. Traditionally, machining fixtures are designed and manufactured through trial-and-error, which prove to be both expensive and time-consuming to the manufacturing process. To ensure a workpiece is manufactured according to specified dimensions and tolerances, it must be appropri
3、ately located and clamped, making it imperative to develop tools that will eliminate costly and time-consuming trial-and-error designs. Proper workpiece location and fixture design are crucial to product quality in terms of precision, accuracy and finish of the machined part. Theoretically, the 3-2-
4、1 locating principle can satisfactorily locate all prismatic shaped workpieces. This method provides the maximum rigidity with the minimum number of fixture elements. To position a part from a kinematic point of view means constraining the six degrees of freedom of a free moving body (three translat
5、ions and three rotations). Three supports are positioned below the part to establish the location of the workpiece on its vertical axis. Locators are placed on two peripheral edges and intended to establish the location of the workpiece on the x and y horizontal axes. Properly locating the workpiece

Locators should be positioned as far apart as possible and should be placed on machined surfaces wherever possible. Supports are usually placed to encompass the center of gravity of a workpiece and posit

Clamps should not be expected to resist the cutting forces generated in the machining operation. For a given number of fixture elements,

In this paper, a method for fixture layout optimization using genetic algorithms is presented. The optimization objective is to search for a 2D fixture layout that minimi

Two case studies are given to illustrate the proposed approach.Fixture design has received considerable attention in
10、recent years. However, little attention has been focused on the optimum fixture layout design. Menassa and DeVries1used FEA for calculating deflections using the minimization of the workpiece deflection at selected points as the design criterion. The design problem was to determine the position of s

Solution for the minimum clamping forces and locator forces is given. Li and Melkote3used a nonlinear programming method to solve the layout optimization pro

Roy andLiao4developed a heuristic method to plan for the best supporting and clamping positions. Tao et al.5presented a geometrical reasoning methodology for determining the optimal clamping p

Liao and Hu6presented a system for fixture configuration analysis based on a dynamic model which analyses the fixtureworkpiece system subject to time-varying machining loads. The influence of clamping placement is also investigated. Li a

15、 workpiece rigid body dynamics during machining. Amaral et al. 8 used ANSYS to verify fixture design integrity. They employed 3-2-1 method. The optimization analysis is performed in ANSYS. Tan et al. 9 described the modeling, analysis and verification of optimal fixturing configurations by the metho
16、ds of force closure, optimization and finite element modeling. Most of the above studies use linear or nonlinear programming methods which often do not give global optimum solution. All of the fixture layout optimization procedures start with an initial feasible layout. Solutions from these methods are depending on the initial fixture layout. They do not consider the fixture layout optimization on overall workpiece deformation. The GAs has been proven to be usefu
