Additional information
This paper proposes the first tool of its kind for systematically predicting geometrical deformation of large aerospace components during assembly. The focus is on the assembly of ribs to skin panels which gives the greatest source of geometrical variations in wing assembly. This work forms the basis of longer-term research to (a) provide process improvements for the existing wing production method, and (b) develop the basis for future automated systems. Airbus supported the research through an industrial grant (RUBX07404). The results were used to conduct further related research to develop complex multiple wing joint analysis for cumulative geometrical variations.
