Section 70 of 105
68. Structural and Mechanical Interfaces
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-70 · 20 content blocks
Structural and Mechanical Interfaces shall define the conditions required to transfer forces, constrain movement, align assets, lock connections, and permit controlled release.
The Interface specification shall address:
- Load types, directions, combinations, and envelopes.
- Stiffness and deformation.
- Bearing and contact conditions.
- Alignment and datum geometry.
- Tolerance stack-up.
- Temporary capture.
- Final engagement.
- Positive locking.
- Fatigue and cyclic behavior.
- Wear and repeated assembly.
- Corrosion and material compatibility.
- Fire and temperature effects.
- Inspection and maintenance.
- Safe disassembly.
- Temporary fit or capture shall not be represented as final structural engagement.
Reliance on friction, adhesive bonding, preload, or field workmanship shall be explicitly designed, controlled, and verified where used.
The Interface shall prevent foreseeable incorrect orientation, partial engagement, incompatible connection, and uncontrolled release wherever practical.
Connection state shall be physically determinable and, where appropriate, digitally reported. Digital indication shall not override contradictory physical evidence.
