Abstract

This paper proposed a weighted self-regulation variation propagation network (WSRVPN) modeling and key nodes identification method based on the complex network for multistage assembly process. Firstly, a self-regulation weighted variation transmission network is constructed through using actual machining error, quality characteristic information and assembly process requirements. Then, the weighted LeaderRank sorting algorithm is introduced to rank the importance of nodes in the network and find the key nodes. To ensure the final assembly’s quality by controlling the quality of critical nodes. The multistage assembling process of a bevel gear assembly is studied, which proves that the method can effectively model the complicated assembly deviation flow and identify the key weak points.
