Abstract

This research proposes a new method of modified Taguchi method based on aspect ratios of the parameters integrated with the present worth method for the determination of optimal parametric setting during the friction stir welding process. As a cornerstone feature in the optimization procedure, aspect ratios are uniquely formulated where single parameters are replaced with products of parameters, squares of a particular parameter multiplied by a parameter, and only squares of each parameter information that represent inputs for the determination of the orthogonal matrix, heading to the optimal parametric setting computations, ranks, and delta determination. A wide range of 83 formulations was considered. Unlike previous research, this article accounts for multiple combinations of aspect ratios greater than the members of parameters present in the factor-level framework in the traditional setting of the Taguchi scheme. A principal result reveals that when the parameters were interchanged from A, B, and C to ABC, A2C, A2 B, A2, B2, and C2, indicating tool till angle, tool rotational speed, and welding speed for A, B and C, respectively, the optimal parametric setting was 462000 (0.rpm.mm/min), 990 (0.mm/min), 12600 (0.rpm.90), 1960000rpm, 12100mm/min2. The result assists welding engineers in implementing optimal decisions during friction stir welding activities. The findings of this study stimulate welding engineers to establish sources of poor-quality welds and optimize the outputs while reducing welding costs.

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.

Abstract

Camshaft gear temperature simulations are presently crucial as they offer a distinctive visual account of the temperature profile within the generator, they permit superior manufacturing assessment and the design of heat-resistant camshaft gear with high performance and low cost. However, available information to designers is inadequate as they omit the approximate global maximum temperature, particularly for the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear in a 1.1 kVA elepaq generator. In this article, the idea is to simulate and account for the global minimum and maximum temperature using the Inventor and ANSYS software. The stress-induced on the generator was considered. The results of the simulation revealed an approximate global maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear as 37°C max with 22°C min. Furthermore, the global minimum at 35°C max with 21°C min was considered. Besides, the structural steel global maximum of 38°C max, 25°C min and global minimum 35°C max, 24°C min. The stress values did not exceed 0.1419 MPa on ANSYS but the ANSYS revealed that the camshaft gear strain was within safe limits. The simulation approach predicts the minimum and maximum temperature of the nylon 6/6 camshaft gear and the stress and strain values. The utility of this attempt is to help designers to implement effective decisions on material choice and design parameters for optimisation, performance and low-cost design.

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

In this study, a robust method of Taguchi-Pareto (TP) coupled with particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to minimize the thrust force in the drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites. Taguchi-Pareto is used against Taguchi (T) to emphasize the prioritization scheme essential for deploying the resources to parameters. Besides, and differently from earlier studies, particle swarm optimization is integrated with the Taguchi-Pareto to optimize the structure further. A further result is placed in the fitness function of the PSO to cultivate the velocity and position vectors. In the TP-PSO, the Pareto scheme is introduced to prioritize the factors based on the 80-20-rule. The Taguchi method yielded a feasible optimal parametric setting. The TPSO and TPPSO attained minimum thrust force in four and seven iterations, respectively. Furthermore, the PSO, TPPSO, and TPSO hold the first, second, and third positions, respectively. Results suggest that the proposed robust TPPSO offers an important indicator of optimization of the thrust force while drilling carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites using existing datasets. The usefulness of this effort is to help drilling operators and process engineers undertake energy-saving decisions.

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.
