Abstract
This work is to contribute to three goals: a mathematical model of part geometric deviations, computation principles for three dimensional tolerance chains and a tolerance scheme in a mathematical form. We use an example to show present conclusions of this work according to the second goal. Then, we focus on a new problem faced in achieving the whole process of tolerancing. If the small displacement torsor is a useful tool to describe the relative situation of two simple surfaces, it’s more difficult to describe the relative situation of two parts involving several different couples of surfaces, what is wanted in mechanism study. We first explain the combinatory nature of this problem and ways to reduce it.
