Abstract :
The goal of this paper is to provide guidelines for the fixturing of nonprismatic workpieces based on the mechanics of frictionless contact model. Geometries of stable fixtures are studies in this analysis. Previous works on the fixturing of prismatic workpieces are extended to the fixturing of nonprismatic workpieces
