In this paper, a hybrid Taguchi-immune algorithm (HTIA) is presented to deal with the unit commitment problem. HTIA integrates the Taguchi method and the traditional immune algorithm (TIA), providing a powerful global exploration capability. Taguchi method (TM) has been widely used in experimental designs for problems with multiple parameters, and is incorporated into TIA in this paper for the ...

In this paper, the cutting of Tungsten Carbide ceramic using electro-discharge machining (EDM) with a graphite electrode by using Taguchi methodology has been reported. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyse the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics, and to predict the optimal choice for each EDM parameter such as peak current, voltage, p...

The purpose of this paper is to present an integrated approach for improving the quality characteristics of the injection molded part (Honda Upper Part) being manufactured at manufacturing industry (Pakistan), where the rejection rate for Honda upper part was on ramp due to sink marks defects. The proposed integrated approach embraces the concept of Design of Experiments (Taguchi Approach) and ...

Food processors and consumers frequently worry about the inconsistent colour of dried tomatoes. To minimize detrimental color changes, process parameters need to be optimized. Thus, digital imaging with Photoshop software optimization Taguchi technique were explored determine surface microwave-dried tomato slices. The sample was pretreated water blanching (WB), ascorbic acid (AA) sodium metabis...

During the last few years, several sheet hydroforming processes have been introduced. Despite the advantages of these methods, they have some limitations. Of the processes, the two main ones are the standard hydroforming and hydromechanical deep drawing. A new sheet hydroforming die set was proposed that has the advantages of both processes and eliminates their limitations. In this method, a po...

Metal matrix composite materials are used in several industrial applications due to its improved specifi c strength, capacity, good wear resistance, and high modulus so on. In this work, the Aluminium alloy Al6061 is as 15% of volume fraction silicon carbide reinforcing element fabricate a MMC by stir casting process. The turning process parameters metal (AMMC) considered work cutting speed, fe...
