Present work highlights application of utility theory combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Taguchi’s robust design for simultaneous optimization of correlated multiple surface quality characteristics of mild steel machined product prepared by straight turning operation. The study aims at evaluating the most favorable process environment followed by an optimal parametric combinat...

BACKGROUND A unique framework for performance optimization of generation companies (GENCOs) based on health, safety, environment, and ergonomics (HSEE) indicators is presented. METHODS To rank this sector of industry, the combination of data envelopment analysis (DEA), principal component analysis (PCA), and Taguchi are used for all branches of GENCOs. These methods are applied in an integrat...

Fuzzy modeling of high-dimensional systems is a challenging topic. This study proposes an effective approach to data-based fuzzy modeling of high-dimensional systems. The proposed method works on the fuzzification layer and tries to use two-dimensional membership functions instead of onedimensional ones. This approach reduces fuzzy rule base radically due to using of two-dimensional membership ...

This paper addresses the development of organizational multi agent systems as a preferred solution to develop open, distributed and adaptive application. It proposes a combination between components and agents to define a flexible organizational model of MAS based on three concepts: roles, self-adaptive agents based on components and fuzzy groups. Roles are played by agents in fuzzy groups. A f...

The Taguchi capability index, which reflects the expected loss and yield of a process, is useful index for evaluating quality process. Several scholars have proposed process improvement based on value function as well corresponding cost improvement. There been number studies using to develop suppliers’ evaluation models, whereas models potential relatively lacking. Thus, this study applies an m...

This paper presents a self-actuating biosensor based on the piezoelectric cantilever optimized by Taguchi method for the label-free detection of specific biomoleculars. Until now, even though the optimisation of the cantilever-based biosensors have been performed by changing dimensions one by one, few researches have performed the geometric optimisation considering the overall configuration of ...

This paper presents the multiple response optimization of end milling parameter using grey based taguchi method. Experiments were designed and conducted based on L27 orthogonal array design The milling parameter were spindle speed, depth of cut, feed rate and pressurized coolant jet and the response was surface roughness. EN31, high carbon alloy steel which achieves a high degree of hardness an...

This paper proposes two novel beam-forming methodologies, which employ passive RF devices to enhance received signal through a passive, scattering based beam forming. Currently available backscattering systems, e.g. the radio frequency identification (RFID), suffer from a poor communication in an environment with multiple passive devices. The intermediate antennas create severe scattering envir...

Drilling is an hole making process in metal cutting operation performed by extrusion which finds wide application in various industries for manufacturing components using metals and non metals. This process is applied widely in assembly of components or elements, where processing challenges are severe issue such as to maintain surface integrity, ovality, machining time, Metal Removal Rate etc.,...
