In this paper, a new evolutionary learning algorithm is proposed by hybridizing the Taguchi method and chaos artificial bee colony (CABC). The algorithm is thus called HTCABC. First, the chaos search algorithm and adaptive bound method is adopted to improve the ABC performance and convergence rate. Then, the Taguchi method and crossover operation are incorporated into the CABC to produce good f...

in this study, taguchi experimental design has been used for the optimization of thickness of chromium layers. for this purpose brass materials have been electroplated under various conditions of the process. an orthogonal array (oa) was employed to analyze the effect of plating parameters on the characteristic of the thickness. variables which were considered for working were as following; amo...

a series of experiments were designed to utilize the taguchi method for investigating the effects of important parameters on the synthesis of nax zeolite and to find the best conditions of synthesis. an l9 orthogonal design of taguchi approach was applied to design experiments consisting of 9 trails. the effect of molar composition, including sio2/al2o3 and na2o/al2o3 ratios, and the crystalliz...

The outer coating of an optical fiber cable protects the optical fiber, and the contraction rate of the outer coating can affect the communication capacity and distance, so the contraction rate is often regarded as the key factor in defining the quality of an optical fiber cable. For this reason, using the example of the circular single-pin optical fiber cable manufacturing process of the large...

In order to improve the quality and productivity the present study highlights the optimization of CNC end milling process parameters to provide a good surface finish. Surface finish has been identified as one of the main quality attributes and is directly related to the productivity of a machine. In this paper an attempt has been made to optimize the process such that the best surface roughness...

Abstrac: In this paper, we investigate the influence of process parameters like HALO and Source/Drain (S/D) Implantation on threshold voltage in 45nm PMOS device. The settings of process parameters were determined by using Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the process parameters on threshold voltage was determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The virtual f...

The challenge of recent machining industries is reduce lead time and increase production rate in order to maintain their competitiveness. This paper investigates the machinability of mild steel in turning process perform on conventional lathe machine. Twoparameters like tool rake angle and feed are varied to investigate their effect on material removal rate. An attempt has been made to model th...

Design of experiments (DOE) methods are very commonly used for process validation. In this study, we employed the Taguchi approach in order to develop an optimal process for the maximization of oscillatory shear stress environments (OSS). OSS has been associated with increase in cellular activity and has been linked to healthy gene expression and tissue formation. Therefore, OSS may be a key fa...
