Tolerance stack analysis - Tolerances on components that are assembled together to achieve an overall design tolerance across an assembly can be individually analysed, their potential variability predicted and their combined effect on the overall conformance determined. The analysis can be used to optimize the design through the explorations of alternative tolerances, processes and materials with the goal of minimizing the costs of non-conformance. This topic is discussed in depth in Chapter 3. 

Most literature tends only to focus on tolerance stack analysis when assessing the capability of assemblies. The variability of the actual assembly operations is rarely considered and does not rely solely on the tolerances accumulating throughout the assembly, but on the feasibility and inherent technical capability of the assembly...

In a paper by Wasterlain et al. (2011) a new instrument developed in-lab is proposed to satisfy the requirements of electrochemical impedance studies to be led on large fuel cell plants made of numerous individual cells. Moreover, new voltammetry protocols dedicated to PEMFC stack analysis are described. They enable, for example, the study of membrane permeability and loss of platinum activity inside complete PEMFC assemblies. In the first part, a new electrochemical impedance spectrometer that makes testing large FC stacks possible has been presented. To validate this acquisition system and to demonstrate some of its capabilities, some experiments were conducted on a 20-cell PEMFC stack. In the second part, voltanunetry experiments were conducted on short FC stacks with a commercial potentiostat. The fuel crossover phenomenon in a three-cell PEMFC stack was analyzed using the linear sweep voltametric (LSV) method. The crossover rates were determined for each individual cell inside the complete assembly and for the entire stack as well. 

A critical assembly is a split bed on which fissionable material used to mock up up a separated reactor core that is stacked half on each half. One half is on roller guides so that the two halves may be quickly pulled apart if the neutron multiplication gets too high. Use the Preliminary Hazards Analysis method described in section 3,2.1 to identify the possible accidents that may occur and the qualitative probabilities and consequences. List the initiators in a matrix to systematically investigate the whole process. Don t forget human error. 

Based on an analysis of the coordination number by assembling different type of modules, the stacking rules of the fluorite-type modules may be deduced. It appears that forming 8 and 7 coordinations is favorable energetically when any... 

As the structure of a nanoparticle assembly depends mostly on interparticle interactions, the shape of a particle will alter such interactions and affect the position of the nanoparticles in a superlattice structure. HRTEM analysis on all nm Co nanoparticle assembly shows that the particles in the assembly have three different types of shapes square-like, hexagon-like and square [45]. Evaporation of the hexane solvent from the dispersion results in an assembly that is different from the spherical ones. These different shapes break the normal six-fold symmetry in a typical hep superlattice assembly, resulting in two popular defects, twins and stacking faults.
