Core Principles of Fragile-Component Fixture Design

Five foundational principles guidete thee design of damage- free fixtures. Each mutt be adressed in thee context of the specific contexent and assembly process.

1. Uniform Support and Prevention of Stress Concentrations

The fixture should provide evide 1; exi.1; FLT: 0 contribus 3; continuous or closely spaced support environment 1; exi1; FLT: 1 contribude 3; along the entire contact surface.
