Manufacturing Variations Study
to forecast the SnR issues in the systems based on the manufacturing variations like, component thickness, attachment stiffness, modal damping and etc.
The manufacturing of a parts is often related to variations of tolerances and quality of materials. In addition, the assembly process adds a set of variations on dimensions and stiffness of connections, resulting in a unique product at each build. These two major processes affect the product final quality and therefore its performance.
Squeak and Rattle are phenomena that are tightly related to the quality of the built parts, and performance can vary through the population of produced products.
