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...

By the grey-based Taguchi methods, this study attempts to analyze the process parameters pertinent to the multiple performance characteristics of linear motion guides and obtain the multiple performance characteristics of the noise level, push force value and horizontal combination precision of the linear motion guide with multiple qualities. Optimal process parameters are determined by using t...

Dolph-Chebychev arrays are known to exhibit the best compromise between sidelobe level and directivity. However, they place a constraint on the null locations. Any attempt to impose nulls or get them deeper will impact the directivity/sidelobe level trade-off. In this work, null placement in Dolph-Chebychev arrays through element position perturbation is carried out based on Taguchi method whil...

Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a powerful classification technique in data mining and has been successfully applied to many real-world applications. Parameter selection of SVM will affect classification performance much during training process. However, parameter selection of SVM is usually identified by experience or grid search (GS). In this study, we use Taguchi method to make optimal appr...

The aim of this investigation is to optimize the process parameters obtain minimum corrosion rate and weight loss Al/SiCp metal matrix composites. A Taguchi based grey relation analysis was carried out. such as number hours dipped in 3% NaCl solution, vol.% SiCp aging at 170°C for were considered. working range each fixed on low rate. test out using relationship analysis. Three factor three lev...

The principal effects of mass degradation on polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are the decay of mechanical properties such as strength, elongation, and resilience. This degradation is a common problem of the PMCs under thermal cycling conditions. In this article, composite degradation was investigated by measurement of total mass loss (TML) using the Taguchi approach. Thermal cycling tests were ...
