Study of critical deviation transfer for assembly of complex structural parts of aircraft

Abstract

In current assembly process of the aircraft complex structural parts, there are problems such as nonlinear, multilevel strong coupling and large uncertainty transfer relationship between assembly quality and its deviation sources. In this paper, an assembly deviation transfer method based on transfer entropy network graph is proposed to address the challenges. Firstly, the source of assembly deviation is analysed by constructing a multi-level assembly coordination network with assembly deviation detection data. Secondly, an assembly deviation propagation model is established by combining transfer entropy and complex network graph theory. This model provides insights into the topological relationship of assembly deviations and introduces causal metrics for evaluation. The effectiveness of method is demonstrated through its application in the assembly of an aircraft nose, thereby verifying its practicality and utility.
