Research Topics: Tolerance Analysis (http://adcats.et.byu.edu/)

Background: Professor Ken Chase has taught mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University since 1968; where he teaches machine design, design for manufacture and structural analysis. An advocate of computer technology, he has served as a consultant to industry on numerous projects involving engineering software applications. Since 1984, he has been involved in the development of computer-aided tolerancing software based on his research at BYU. His most recent work combines tolerance analysis with finite element analysis to predict the behavior of flexible assemblies, such as airframes or auto bodies.
