Statistical Tolerancing
Fritz Scholz Spring Quarter 2007
Objective of Statistical Tolerancing
Concerns itself with mass production, not custom made items. Dimensions and properties of parts are not exactly what they should be. Worst case tolerancing can be quite costly. Manage variation in mechanical assemblies or systems. Take advantage of statistical independence in variation cancelation. Also known as statistical error propagation. Useful when errors and system sensitivities are small. It is more in the realm of probability than statistics (no inference).

Exchangeability of 757 Cargo Doors
At issue were the tolerances of gaps and lugs of hinges and their placement on the hinge lines of aircraft body and door.
10 hinges with 12 lugs/gaps each.
That means that a lot of dimensions have to fit just about right.

Main Ingredients: Mean, Variance & Standard Deviation
The dimension or property of interest, X , is treated as a random variable.
X f (x) (density),
Zx
CDF F(x) = P(X x) = f (t) dt .
-
Mean:
Zx
? = ?X = E(X) = t f (t) dt
-
Variance:
Zx
2 = 2X = var(X) = E((X -?)2) = E(X2)-?2 =
(t -?)2 f (t) dt
-
Standard Deviation:
= var(X)

Rules for E(X) and var(X)
For constants a1, . . . , ak and random variables X1, . . . , Xk we have for Y = a1X1 + . . . + akXk
E(Y ) = E(a1X1 + . . . + akXk) = a1E(X1) + . . . + akE(Xk)
For constants a1, . . . , ak and independent random variables X1, . . . , Xk we have Y2 = var(Y ) = var(a1X1 + . . . + akXk) = a21var(X1) + . . . + a2kvar(Xk)
It is this latter property that justifies the existence of the variance concept.
Y = a21var(X1) + . . . + a2kvar(Xk)

Central Limit Theorem (CLT) I
? Suppose we randomly and independently draw random variables X1, . . . , Xn from n possibly different populations with respective means and standard deviations ?1, . . . , ?n and 1, . . . , n
? Suppose further that max 21, . . . , 2n 21 + . . . + 2n 0 , as n
i.e., none of the variances dominates among all variances
? Then Yn = X1 + . . . + Xn has an approximate normal distribution with mean
and variance given by
?Y = ?1 + . . . + ?n and Y2 = 21 + . . . + 2n .
