Abstract:

Abstract The main goal of this study is optimization of densification of ZrB2-SiC composites reinforced with chopped Cf prepared by SPS. Taguchi method is employed as statistical design of experiment (DOE) to optimize densification parameters including SiC, Cf, MoSi2, HfB2 and ZrC content, milling time of Cf and SPS parameters such as temperature, time and pressure. Each of these factors was examined on four levels in order to obtain the optimum conditions. A total of 32 samples were prepared in accordance to the L32 array proposed by the Taguchi method. By using statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA), it has been concluded that the most significant effect on the densification is related to temperature, MoSi2 and time by 50.2%, 20.7% and 9.8% portion, respectively. Also, the results showed that pressure with 0.8%, ZrC with 1.9% and HfB2 with 1.9% have the least portion on open porosity. The other parameters including SiC, M.t and Cf have 2.9%, 3.6% and 3.8% on open porosity respectively.

Experimental Investigation on Radial Ball Bearing Parameters Using Taguchi Method

In this work, characteristics of various ball bearing parameters are studied under different loads and rotational speeds. By using Dimensional Analysis (DA), dimensionless parameters are computed which provides solution for a group of parameters. This analysis can be accomplished by using the Buckingham π-theorem. DA leads to reduction of the number of independent parameters involved in a probl...

Optimum parameters of nonlinear integrator using design of experiments based on Taguchi method

For many physical systems like vehicles, acceleration can be easily measured for the respective states. However, the outputs are usually affected by stochastic noise disturbance. The mentioned systems are often sensitive to noise and structural uncertainties. Furthermore, it is very difficult to estimate the multiple integrals of the signal, acceleration to velocity and velocity to position. In...
