In order to produce any product with desired quality by machining, proper selection of process parameters is essential. This can be accomplished by Full Factorial method. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of process parameter on surface finish and material removal rate (MRR) to obtain the optimal setting of these process parameters and the analysis of variance is also use...

We have performed a shape optimization of the disc in an industrial double-eccentric butterfly valve using the effect analysis of design variables to enhance the valve performance. For the optimization, we select three performance quantities such as pressure drop, maximum stress, and mass (weight) as the responses and three dimensions regarding the disc shape as the design variables. Subsequent...

The underlying principles, techniques & methodology of robust design are discussed in detail in this report with a case study presented to appreciate the effectiveness of robust design. The importance of Parameter design & Tolerance design as the major elements in Quality engineering are described. The Quadratic loss functions for different quality characteristics are narrated, highlighting the...

Many multimedia communication applications require a source to send multimedia information to multiple destinations through a communication network. To support these applications, it is necessary to determine a multicast tree of minimal cost to connect the source node to the destination nodes subject to delay constraints on multimedia communication. This problem is known as multimedia multicast...

It is proved that the collection of blocks of an affine 1-design that yields a linear orthogonal array is a union of parallel classes of hyperplanes in a finite affine space. In particular, for every prime power q and every m ≥ 2 there exists a unique (up to equivalence) complete linear orthogonal array of strength two associated with the classical design of points and hyperplanes in AG(m, q).

Given any -tuple ( s1, s2, . . . , s ) of positive integers, there is an integer N = N ( s1, s2, . . . , s ) such that an orthogonal design of order 2 ( s1 + s2 + · · ·+ s ) and type ( 2s1, 2 s2, . . . , 2 s ) exists, for each n ≥ N . This complements a result of Eades et al. which in turn implies that if the positive integers s1, s2, . . . , s are all highly divisible by 2, then there is a ful...

The design and analysis of nearly-orthogonal symmetric wavelet filter banks has been studied. Methods for analyzing the correlation of the nearly-orthogonal filter banks are proposed. The basic idea is to impose multiple zeros at the aliasing frequency to a symmetric filter, minimize the deviation of the filter satisfying the orthogonal condition, and a nearly orthogonal filter bank can be obta...
