The FEM analysis of ultrasonic tool has been done in addition to surface roughness of machined samples using ultrasonic machining process have been presented. The experimental conditions were designed by using DOE approach. The analysis of results has been done using the MINITAB 14.0 software and results obtained are validated by conducting the confirmation experiments. The F-test and P-value h...

Design of experiment with related factors can be implemented by using the technique of sliding levels. Taguchi (1987) proposed an analysis strategy by re-centering and re-scaling the slid factors. Hamada and Wu (1995) showed via counter examples that in many cases the interactions cannot be completely eliminated by Taguchi’s strategy. They proposed an alternative method in which the slid factor...

ABSTRACT The objective of this investigation is to obtain an optimal setting of process parameters in turning for maximizing the material removal rate of the manufactured component. The material removal rate has been investigated in this analysis while machining practically used components. As per Taguchi’s “Design of Experiments”, the number of experiments to be conducted in this analysis is c...

Dr Taguchi is a Japanese engineer and an international quality consultant who has made breakthrough improvements in product and process quality through the use of statistical design of experiments (SDOE). The Taguchi method became popular in the West in the 1980s as a means to design robust products and processes. Although many companies and industries have used the method with success, the rea...

Simulation and prediction of CO2 laser cutting of Perspex glass has been done by feed forward back propagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Experimental data of Taguchi orthogonal array L9 was used to train the ANN model. The simulation results were evaluated and verified with the experiment. In some cases, the prediction errors of Taguchi ANN model was larger than 10% even with Levenberg M...

This paper presents a study of the Taguchi design application to optimize surface quality in damper inserted end milling operation. Maintaining good surface quality usually involves additional manufacturing cost or loss of productivity. The Taguchi design is an efficient and effective experimental method in which a response variable can be optimized, given various factors, using fewer resources...

Parametric design optimization of an automotive body crashworthiness improvement is presented. The thicknesses of parts are employed as design variables for optimization whose objective is to increase the maximum deceleration value of the vehicle center of gravity during an impact. Using the Taguchi method, this study analyzes the optimum conditions for design objectives and the impact factors ...

This paper proposes a procedure for process parameters design by combining both modeling and optimization methods. The proposed procedure integrates the Taguchi method, the artificial neural network (ANN), and the genetic algorithm (GA). First, the Taguchi method is applied to minimize experimental numbers and to collect experimental data representing the quality performances of a system. Next,...
