The paper envisages the study to optimize the effects of process variables on surface roughness, MRR and power consumption of En24 of work material using PVD coated tool. In the present investigation the influence of spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were studied as process parameters. The experiments have been conducted using full factorial design in the design of experiments (DOE) on...

Cloud Computing is an emerging technology for processing and storing very large amounts of data. Sometimes, anomalies and defects affect a part of the Cloud infrastructure, resulting in a degradation in Cloud performance. This work uses the Taguchi method for the design of experiments to present a methodology for identifying the relationships between the various configuration parameters that af...

The challenge of recent machining industries is reduce lead time and increase production rate in order to maintain their competitiveness. This paper investigates the machinability of mild steel in turning process perform on conventional lathe machine. Twoparameters like tool rake angle and feed are varied to investigate their effect on material removal rate. An attempt has been made to model th...

The work desires: i) to determine the optimum level of batch size in bottleneck facility and ii) to analyze the effect of common components on work-in-process (WIP) level and cycle time in a multistage production system under uncertainties. The uncertainty is created by machine breakdown and quality variation. Few simulation models are developed based on a live case from a company. The models a...

In k 2 experimental design, the classical fractional factorial designs, the Plackett-Burman designs and the Taguchi orthogonal-array designs all require, with few exceptions, n 2 test conditions, for some k n ≤ . Tsao and Wibowo (2005) pointed out that when only m of the k 2 effects/interactions are non-zero, only m test conditions are required for their estimation. Given the identities of m pr...

The existing third-order tracker known as α-β-γ filter has been used for target tracking and predicting for years. The filter can track the targets position and velocity, but not the acceleration. To extend its capability, a new fourth-order target tracker called α-β-γ-δ filter is proposed. The main objective of this study was to find the optimal set of filter parameters that leads to minimum p...

Taguchi methods, which are widely applied in industrial process design, were used to optimize DNA amplification finger-printing (DAF). Quadratic loss functions that penalize deviations from prediction values and L9 (3(4)) and L18 (3(8)) orthogonal arrays revealed effects and interactions of amplification reaction components and thermal cycling parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposed...

Research in assembly planning can be categorised into three types of approach: graph-based, knowledgebased and artificial intelligence approaches. The main drawbacks of the above approaches are as follows: the first is time-consuming; in the second approach it is difficult to find the optimal solution; and the third approach requires a high computing efficiency. To tackle these problems, this s...

Path planning for a robot-assisted surface finishing system with an active torque controller is presented in this paper. We utilize a dexterous manipulator to attain the desired position and orientation in three-dimensional space during finishing processes. A single-axis active controller consists of a dc motor and a software observer is attached to the robot wrist and used to actuate a pneumat...
