Modelling and design of assemblies with discrete equivalence classes
ISTD PhD Oral Defense Seminar by Rulin Chen – An assembly comprises parts joined together to achieve a specific form or functionality. Compared to monolithic objects, assemblies have many benefits in terms of fabrication, transportation, and adaptability. Parts of assemblies are always geometrically simple to fabricate with digital techniques, can be efficiently packed for transportation, and offer adaptability through flexible replacement or modification. Hence, assemblies are widely used in our daily lives that most of our consumer products, industry machines, and architectural structures are assemblies.
