Assembly and disassembly mechanics of a spherical snap fit

The snap fit is a common mechanical mechanism. We have studied the spherical snap fit carefully for its physical asymmetry, which is easy to assemble but difficult to disassemble. Because of the complexity of spherical snap fit, it is difficult to get a theoretical formula to describe its physical a...
