This paper reviews the application of two analytical tools namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Taguchi based design of experiment in the field of polymer matrix composite. These two tools are used extensively to predict the tool wear, fatigue life etc., during machining operation.

for all industrial processes, modelling, optimisation and control are the keys to enhance productivity and ensure product quality. in the current study, the optimization of process parameters for improving the conversion of isoeugenol to vanillin by psychrobacter sp. csw4 was investigated by means of taguchi approach and box-behnken statistical design under resting cell conditions. taguchi desi...

The purpose of this research is to investigate on the influences of cutting parameters on machine tool vibration & surface finish using MEMS Accelerometer in high precision CNC milling machine. The cutting parameters considered are depth of cut, feed rate and spindle speed. In this work, efforts has been made to acquire vibration data on spindle housing using MEMS Accelerometer, measure surface...

Background: Hydrocarbons degradation is principally achieved by microorganisms in natural environments. The extent of hydrocarbons biodegradation is mainly conditioned by environmental factors and its success depends on the optimal condition for the crude oil degrading isolates. Objectives: The aims of the current study was to isolate and identify crude oil degrading bacterium from surface sed...

The ever-increasing complexity of software systems makes them hard to comprehend, predict and tune due to emergent properties and non-deterministic behaviour. Complexity arises from the size of software systems and the wide variety of possible operating environments: the increasing choice of platforms and communication policies leads to ever more complex performance characteristics. In addition...

This investigation proposes a grey-based Taguchi method to solve the multi-response problems. The grey-based Taguchi method is based on the Taguchi’s design of experimental method, and adopts grey relational analysis (GRA) to transfer multiresponse problems into single-response problems. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to optimize the drilling process parameters considering weig...

abstract human insulin-like growth factor i (higf-i) is a kind of growth factor with clinical significance in medicine. the major objective of this study is over- production of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor i( rhigf-i) through a developed process by recruiting effective factors in order to achieve the most recombinant protein. up to now e. coli expression system has been widely us...

Due to significant environmental advantages, biocomposites have recently received increasing attention. In the present research, strength of hat-shaped coir fiber biocomposites tubes reinforced with nano powder was evaluated experimentally under 3-point bending tests. The tubes were manufactured using hand lay-up technique and based on Taguchi design of experiment. The effects of different para...
