In this article, the dynamic Taguchi methodology is applied to the design of a barcode scanner. The concurrent engineering process involves a team of design and manufacturing engineers engaged in both hardware and software aspects of the product. The purpose of this experimental study is to determine the correlation between the outcomes of the conventional design and Taguchi optimization. The m...

parametric design optimization of an automotive body crashworthiness improvement is presented. the thicknesses of parts are employed as design variables for optimization whose objective is to increase the maximum deceleration value of the vehicle center of gravity during an impact. using the taguchi method, this study analyzes the optimum conditions for design objectives and the impact factors ...

This paper adopts Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio analysis to optimize the dynamic characteristics of a SAW gas sensor system whose output response is linearly related to the input signal. The goal of the present dynamic characteristics study is to increase the sensitivity of the measurement system while simultaneously reducing its variability. A time- and cost-efficient finite element analysis...

Taguchi method was known as an off-line quality control methodology to be used in many industries. Until now, most applications only focus on optimizing a single-response in a static system. Furthermore, due to the increasing complexity of the product design, more than one quality characteristic must be considered simultaneously to improve the production quality. Therefore, there are several st...

1. In poultry investigations, the main interest is often to study the effects of many factors simultaneously. Two or three level factorial designs are the most commonly used for this type of investigation. However, it is often too costly to perform when number of factors increase. So a fractional factorial design, which is a subset or a fraction of a full factorial design, is an alternative. Th...

This paper presents a study of the Taguchi design application to optimize surface quality in damper inserted end milling operation. Maintaining good surface quality usually involves additional manufacturing cost or loss of productivity. The Taguchi design is an efficient and effective experimental method in which a response variable can be optimized, given various factors, using fewer resources...

perlite or pearl stone is a natural glass which has formed by rapid cooling of viscous lava or magma. perlite is mainly composed of silica, aluminum, potassium and sodium. in this experiment, perlite was used as a low-cost source of si and al to synthesis of sodalite zeolite using the alkaline hydrothermal treatment. a statistical taguchi design of experiments was employed to evaluate the effec...

in this work, the solubility of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves, found in the north of iran, in supercritical carbon dioxide has been measured. also the effects of pressure, temperature, extraction dynamic time, and the organic co-solvent on the amount of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves have been investigated. it should be stressed that in order to reduce significantly the number ...
