AB - In this research we investigate the analysis and design of nesting forces for exactly constrained mechanical assemblies. Exactly constrained assemblies have a number of important advantages over other assemblies including the ability to assemble over a wide range of conditions. Such designs often require nesting forces to keep the design properly seated. To date, little theory has been developed for the analysis and design of nesting forces. We show how the effects of tolerances on nesting forces, a key issue, can be analyzed and then apply the analysis to two example problems. Good agreement is obtained between the method and Monte Carlo simulation.
