TLDR
The authors analyze the most commonly used form of constraint languages for assembly planning: mating constraint languages, and it is proven that some of these forms, such as those based on less-than relations and thosebased on more-than-or-equal-to relations, are equivalent.Abstract:
The authors analyze the most commonly used form of constraint languages for assembly planning: mating constraint languages. These constraints are typically composed of relations asserting that a certain pair of parts must be mated before some other pair of parts may be mated. However there are many significant differences between the forms of these constraints used by different authors. It is proven that some of these forms, such as those based on less-than relations and those based on less-than-or-equal-to relations, are equivalent. A variety of theorems that address which kinds of mating constraint languages are able to represent which kinds of sets of plans are included. >read more

Disassembly sequencing : a survey
TL;DR: A survey of the presently available literature on disassembly sequencing can be found in this article, including the papers that are closely related to this topic, and a slightly different approach can be observed, including level of detail, degrees of freedom, and the role of uncertainty.

Geometric reasoning about mechanical assembly
TL;DR: This paper investigates the planning of assembly algorithms specifying (dis) assembly operations on the components of a product and the ordering of these operations and presents measures to evaluate the complexity of these algorithms and techniques to estimate the inherent complexity of aproduct.

Disassembly sequencing using a motion planning approach
TL;DR: This work treats the parts in the assembly as robots and operates in the composite configuration space of the parts' individual configuration spaces, and constructs a disassembly tree which is rooted at the starting assembled configuration.

An integrated computer aid for generating and evaluating assembly sequences for mechanical products
TL;DR: An integrated computer aid that is useful for assembly-line design and for concurrent design of mechanical products is described, building an integrated set of user-interactive computer programs that generates all feasible assembly sequences for a product and aids the user in judging their value based on various criteria.

Representations of mechanical assembly sequences
TL;DR: Five types of representations for assembly sequences are reviewed and the mappings of one representation into the others are established, and the correctness and completeness of these representations are established.
