The Quality Cost Reduction in Hollow Glass Manufacturing by Taguchi Method

Optimization of Process Parameters in Oriented Strand Board Manufacturing by Taguchi Method

Optimization of process parameters in oriented strand board (OSB) manufacturing is a vital issue for improving product quality. In this study, the Taguchi method (TM) was applied to determine the effects of production factors such as adhesive ratio, press pressure, and pressing time on the thermal conductivity of OSB. Obtained results showed that adhesive ratio is the main factor affecting ther...

Optimization of Genetic Algorithm Parameters for Multi-channel Manufacturing Systems by Taguchi Method

An important issue in multi-channel manufacturing (MCM) design is the channel formation process. In this study, the control parameters that affect the performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) developed to solve channel formation problem, are examined and the optimum values of such parameters are explored using Taguchi method. Two types of problems were taken into account in terms of machines, pa...

Breaking the glass ceiling: hollow OmniGuide fibers

We argue that OmniGuide fibers, which guide light within a hollow core by concentric multilayer films having the property of omnidirectional reflection, have the potential to lift several physical limitations of silica fibers. We show how the strong confinement in OmniGuide fibers greatly suppresses the properties of the cladding materials: even if highly lossy and nonlinear materials are emplo...
