Abstract

The astronomical increase in the cost of inputs for the coating process without a corresponding increase in market share and prices of goods is a threat to surface coating manufacturers. Despite this threat, very few discussions focus on the efficiency of the coating process. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency of the coating process while using the 67Ni18Cr5Si4B coating powder on C45 steel substrate material. The data envelopment analysis was used to obtain the relative efficiency of parameters, namely, spray velocity, powder feed rate, spray distance, porosity, adhesion strength, and microhardness. This in turn contributed to analyzing the efficiencies of the levels of the inputs to provide efficiency information on the output from the averages. Data envelopment analysis regards inputs and outputs as decision-making units (DMUs) and is operated by minimizing inputs or maximizing the outputs. Using data envelopment analysis to obtain the relative efficiency of coating powder becomes an enlightening practice. With this, the levels of each system were termed to be efficient, if the efficiency factor (hk) is equal to one. In a real sense, the levels could be obtained by calculating the average values regarding a parameter. The result of the study was enhanced with the aid of the linprog facility in Matlab. The efficiency was obtained for each level as 0.92,1, and 1 respectively. Hence, levels 2 and 3 are efficient but level 1 is inefficient according to the data envelopment analysis. On average, the overall efficiency is 0.95 which is termed inefficient.

Abstract

This study introduces the aspect ratio Taguchi-Pareto to optimise the leaf spring parameters, using experimental designs and a combination of orthogonal arrays, and signal-to-noise ratios to estimate the optimal parametric settings. Furthermore, the Pareto analysis based on the 80/20 rule created the accepted or rejected experimental trials in the orthogonal arrays. It therefore streamlined the acceptable regions to only the vital signal-to-noise ratios. The research findings reveal that the optimal parametric setting is MA/MLL3MA/NL2MLL/MA3NL/MA3MLL/NL3NL/MLL2. This is interpreted as 0.008426 gcm-3mm-1, 0.565 g/cm3, 113.0876 g-1mm cm3, 0.63532 g-1cm-3, 178 mm, 0.004545 mm-1. The optimal parametric settings obtained enabled the benchmarking of performance standards for the leaf spring inputs while enhancing material usage. Practically, this study offers insights on optimizing leaf spring parameters considering aspect ratios instead of direct parameters. The findings can inform decisions on leaf spring designs and development to improve cost efficiency. Incorporating aspect ratios into the factor and level schemes presents a novel leaf spring design approach, offering a valuable tool for benchmarking and performance evaluation.

Abstract

Nitinol-60 shape memory alloy (SMA) is known for its outstanding super elasticity non-magnetic properties, vibration absorption, high hardness and long fatigue life, among others. However, its conventional processing is difficult, complex and time-consuming, making the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) a viable option. Additionally, the choice of multicriteria methods is growing drastically in machining for economic and planning advantages. This paper presents an L15 orthogonal array analysis of the WEDM process parameters for nitinol-60 using the entropy method. The principal parameters are the gap voltage, dielectric flow rate and duty factor. However, the responses are surface crack density, recasting of larger thickness, and cutting rate. The procedure starts with the design of an experimental matrix with fifteen experiments. Then the parameters and responses are as beneficial and non-beneficial while their normalization is made. The entropy method is applied and the results are reported for the first time in the WEDM process of nitinol-60. to ensure optimum performance of the WEDM process, priority should be given in descending order to duty factor, dielectric flow rate and gap voltage at 0.1398, 0.1325 and 0.1117, respectively. to prioritize the responses, the average peak-to-valley height, maximum peak-to-valley heights and the cutting rate obtained the first, second and third positions, respectively. The findings presented in this work highlight the importance of nitinol-60 SMA as a promising candidate for medical devices and aerospace components. These are of public interest including neurovascular, dentistry, orthopedic, endoscopy and vascular intervention. It therefore offers new insights into planning in healthcare and wellbeing.

Abstract

The present state of competition within the plastic composite industry calls for efficiency to be competitive. However, in the drilling of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, the process engineer still lacks knowledge of the priority of parameters as parameters are chosen at random, and resources are deployed without justification on their importance and strength. Consequently, production crises and productivity losses persist. In this article, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is deployed to evaluate the weights of criteria in a CFRP composite drilling operation. The establishment of the decision, alternatives, and criteria is accomplished, and pairwise comparisons are conducted to allow the computation of the importance weight of each criterion. The weight is then established. The proposed approach was illustrated with experimental data from the literature with a plastic drilling case. Six criteria were chosen as crucial in determining the drilling parameters of CFRP composites. The results reveal the following: thrust force (0.413), torque (0.253), eccentricity (0.151), surface roughness (0.115), delamination at entry (0.037) and delamination at exit (0.030). In a validation exercise to ascertain the consistency of the analysis, a consistent analysis was obtained. The novelty of the article is using the AHP approach on the drilling of CFRP composites. Practically, these results impact operator training, indicating that attention should be focused on thrust force control. The industrial applications of CFRP composites include the basic structures of automobiles, ships, and airplanes.

Abstract

The selection of an appropriate parameter in a water absorption process experiment is an important route to reducing fabrication wastes and ensuring the optimum deployment of scarce process resources to the appropriate parameter. However, the literature is inadequate in providing an appropriate direction on selecting parameters for the hull of the ships' application due to the conflicting requirements of the interested parties. A novel method called the Data Environment Analysis (DEA) to overcome this problem. Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE) method is deployed to establish the appropriate parameter in a water absorption process on epoxy composite. The net outranking results show that criterion B (final weight) is placed in the first position. The criterion A (initial weight), D (thickness), and C (length) are placed in the second, third, and fourth positions, respectively, while E (time) is not necessary to the achievement of the system's goals. The key novelty is the unique application of the fused DEA-PROMETHEE method to a composite using the Taguchi signal-to-noise ratio response table for the hull of a ship. The method enhances the performance of multiple inputs (parameters) and multiple outputs (responses). The results of the DEA method-PROMETHEE method established the potential of epoxy composite to be used on the ship for the hull component. This could reduce the waste generated in the system, and guided allocation of resources are made to the appropriate parameters and, consequently, enhance the shipping company's profit. Furthermore, the results could improve the shipping vessel performance and develop a sustainable practice, which will lengthen the lifespan of the shipping industry.

Abstract

Parametric selection in machining processes is recently understood as a route to reducing waste generation in drilling activities and achieving a robust resource distribution in drilling activities. However, the selection methods dominant in the literature lack competence in reducing uncertainties and imprecision associated with the drilling process. The purpose of this research is to reduce the uncertainty and imprecision in previously analyzed data that used the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. This paper adjusts the uncertainty and imprecision by introducing a geometric mean-based fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. The selection method influences the drilling expert's preferences by imposing the fuzzy theory in a triangular member function that converts the crisp numerical values into fuzzy members and adequately suppresses the imprecision and uncertainty in the elements. The thrust force was positioned first in ranking with a FAHP method's weight of 0.415, which matched the literature value of 0.413 for the AHP method. It was found that the use of the FAHP method has corrected the imprecision and uncertainty introduced by the AHP method. It was found that the thrust force and torque were overestimated by or 0.48% and 3.95%, respectively and was accordingly corrected. Besides, no errors were found with the measurement of eccentricity response. Furthermore, the entry delamination, exit delamination and surface roughness were underestimated by -8.11%, -3.33% and -6.96%, respectively, and therefore corrected by the FAHP method. The usefulness of this effort is to enhance cost-effective decisions and the effectiveness in the distribution of scarce drilling resources.

Abstract

The EDAS (evaluation based on distance from average solution) method is a broadly utilized tool for multi-criteria analysis with the ability to handle several conflicting criteria. The Taguchi method is an optimization tool with economic capability in experimentation. This article presents EDAS Taguchi (EDAS-T) method based on EDAS and the Taguchi method. It also presents EDAS Taguchi-Pareto (EDAS-TP) method framed from EDAS and Taguchi-Pareto methods. Furthermore, data from the literature to test the proposed methods are presented, which the results are compared. This research shows that the EDAS method produces the optimum combination of parameters at a run with a current of 4A, pulse on time of 50 µs, pulse off time of 14ms, and powder concentration of 1 g/L. Also, the EDAS-Taguchi method reveals a current of 4A, pulse on time of 60 µs, pulse off time of 14 µs, and powder concentration of 1 g/L. However, the principal result is that using the EDAS Taguchi-Pareto method, the optimal current is 3A, pulse on time is 60 µs, and powder concentration is 0.75g/L. The EDAS Taguchi-Pareto method eliminated the pulse off time and pulse on time, claiming that it is not significant to the system's optimum performance. The principal novelty of this article is that it introduces a mechanism of concurrently optimizing and selecting the wire EDM process parameters using the EDAS-Taguchi-Pareto method. The optimization is parallelly conducted as selection occurs, providing an initial notification to ascertain timely detection and control of local optimality of parameters to global optimization before final selection. This is unlike most evaluations, where optimization is done differently from the selection. This study is the first to develop and use EDAS methods for the WEDM process of Ni55.8Ti shape memory alloy.

Abstract

For the turning process, the computation of optimal parametric settings for parameters has been traditionally achieved using standard parametric values, but comparative values between the standard parameters have been ignored. But these aspect ratios reveal some evaluation dimensions that account for robust measurement schemes that promote enhanced effectiveness of the process. To address the issue, an aspect-ratio-based mechanism has been introduced to optimize the turning parameters in three Taguchi methodical variants of classical Taguchi, Taguchi-Pareto, and Taguchi-ABC methods. A total of twelve alternatives were developed, with each alternative containing three standard parameters and two aspect ratios since only three standard parameters are involved in the evaluation. The evaluation of parameters in non-prioritized and prioritized forms was considered for each alternative. The Taguchi method accounts for the non-prioritized method, while Taguchi-Pareto and Taguchi-ABC methods are the prioritized parametric structures. The delta values and ranks across the prioritized and non-prioritized parameters were evaluated by their mean values. The optimal parametric settings were evaluated for all alternatives in the prioritized and non-prioritized forms of evaluation. The results, using literature data, confirmed the feasibility of using the approach. The outcome of the methods is in enhancing the planning scheme for the turning operation. The benefit of the study is an enhanced analysis of turning operation’s improvements and estimation of related economic advantages through turning resources conservation.

Abstract

The manufacture of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites from carbon fibres fused with epoxy matrix, deploying the hand layup method has raised considerable attention. Within this research domain, drilling with various tools such as coated and uncoated drills is of great significance. Unfortunately, the use of intuition and experience to select the best parameter in the drilling operation has been known to be less efficient, causing the inadequate distribution of drilling resources to actualize the effectiveness of drilling parameters. Energy wastages are also associated with the present practice of intuition in drilling process. In this study, a novel approach of PROMETHEE I and II are presented to avoid ineffectiveness in drilling resource distribution and select the best drilling operations parameters. The proposed method utilizes experimental data from the literature to verify the method's performance. This study helps in reducing waste due to the inadequate distribution of drilling operations sources. PROMETHEE analyses the drilling parameters of the CFRP composites using preference functions that map the differences among alternatives during machining judgments. Out of the six responses examined, the best response is exit delamination with a weight of 0.059, surface roughness with a weight of 0.031emerged as the second position, torque weighing 0.003 took the 3rd position while the last position is entry delamination, weighing -0.102.

Abstract

This paper proposes three methods for the joint optimization and selection of parameters in controlling the exhaust emission from logistics and packing industries, using the Taguchi-VIKOR, Taguchi-Pareto-VIKOR, and Taguchi-ABC-VIKOR methods. From the delta values of the Taguchi method, parameters F, E, A, B, C, and D were placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th with delta values of 59.0066, 7.5263, 7.5261, 0.1150, 0.1113 and 0.1107, respectively. The delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value and median delta value are 58.8959, 12.3993, and 3.8206, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal parametric setting is A1B1C1D1E1F1, which means 52 million dollars for revenue, 127 billion packing units, 0.77 optimal growth rate, 1.5 units of materials, 5581 kilotons of quantity consumed and 1 unit of carbon dioxide equivalent of packing materials. The methods are the cornerstone for evaluating the high-performing packing factor associated with greenhouse gas emissions and concurrently obtaining optimized values for packing enterprises to reduce emissions. Besides, and differently from earlier studies, methods such as Pareto, ABC, and VIKOR differentiate the alternative coupled Taguchi methods proposed in the literature. In addition, the following novel elements of the Taguchi method are introduced: Delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value, delta/HOPV, delta/LOPV, and delta/AOPV. The results suggest that the developed methods adequately represent the optimized values and ranks obtained using the field data set from literature.
