Abstract

Wear performance has been evaluated for mechanical equipment using normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance, but aspect ratios have been traditionally ignored in the literature. Also, limited studies have analyzed wear performance with sparse information. In this study, a grey relational analysis (GRA) technique is proposed for the wear performance analysis of nylon 6/boron nitride composite using aspect ratios. A complete divergence is made from the literature where the aspect ratios of the particulate weight of the composite, normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance are treated in direct and aspect ratios of 12 cases where the reciprocals of factors, their squares and cubes are considered. Results show that the proposed method of GRA is feasible and offers an adequate illustration of the indices of the parameters of the wear process as opposed to the present method of Taguchi that exists in the literature. A key result is from case 2, which shows that experimental trial 9 with the grey relational grade of 1.00 has the lowest wear rate. The corresponding values of the parameters are 0.05 of the 1/NL parameter, while the SD parameter is 500. This is interpreted as 0.05N-1 of the reciprocal of normal load and 500m for the sliding distance. The principal contribution of this research is the introduction of the grey relational analysis to reduce the wear rate of nylon 6-boron nitride composite. The proposed method is useful as a planning tool for the maintenance engineer to monitor the health of equipment in practice.

Abstract

Precise monitoring of vehicle emissions in green logistics, focusing on the contributions of vehicles from packing industries, is crucial for many issues. It helps to understand the total emissions and gain insights into the mechanism of vehicle-associated environmental concerns. Notwithstanding, a key issue when monitoring vehicle emissions is the effective discrimination problem for different patterns generated from the parameters. Data from the packing industry are available from distribution networks but its pattern cannot be discriminated. Given this background, this article presents a new method of the orthogonal array-based rough set to discern patterns of the parametric behaviors to monitor emissions from vehicle exhausts in the packing industry. The proposed method is based on an Indian logistics network and delivery system data, which was obtained from previous work in the literature. By setting controls on the parameters of the packing industry which includes revenue obtained, packing units sold, growth rate, carbon-dioxide equivalent, materials utilized, and quantity consumed, the method was able to discern the patterns of the parametric behavior. The orthogonal arrays, which are developed, form factors (parameters) and levels to ascertain a balanced and uniform analysis of the various groups of options. Indiscernibility and approximation concepts of fuzzy sets are then applied to arrive at the outcome. Unlike previous studies, this study eliminates the need for tracking data, assumptions, and external information to establish the set membership. However, it utilizes the available information within the data. The rough set analysis indicates that there are no discernable patterns or rules that distinguish between "Yes" and "No" decisions. The method of rough set illustrated in this work shows the feasibility of the approach in the Indian packing industry. The method is useful for the logistics manager and government agencies responsible for the control of vehicle-generated greenhouse emissions.

Abstract

In this study, we propose the data envelopment analysis method as a scheme to determine the technical efficiency of a set of parametric inputs of the water absorption process when developing the oil palm particulate composite treated with an alkali solution. Although alkali-treated oil palm bunch composites have been analyzed previously for water absorption, a single parameter such as water absorption rate prevails in analyses. Unfortunately, multiple inputs and multiple outputs have been ignored and the efficiency evaluation of such composites has been missing in the literature. To address this gap, the present study exploits the linear programming theory and formulated models for each decision-making unit and solves that formulation for optimum value determination for inputs of the composites. This study investigates the technical efficiency of the water absorption in the oil palm empty fruit bunch composite development process. Overall, judging the performance of the parameters regarding the frequency of attaining 100% efficiency, analysis was performed on the average performance of all parameters in all sixteen scenarios. In this regard, the efficiency of particulate loading was 36.1%, for composite weight plus mold, it was 96.3% and for initial weight, the average efficiency score was 67.8%. It is suggestive that composite weight plus mold with an average efficiency of 96.3% is the best parameter while particulate loading with 36.1% is the worst parameter. Thus result is consistent with the result based on each scenario. From the perspective of DMUs, DMU11 with a score of 78.4% is the best ranking unit while DMU14 is the work ranking unit with an efficiency score of 60.9%. Besides, the average efficiency score for all the DMUs is 66.7%. The work is important to composite development engineers and for policy decision-making.

Abstract

Presently, in friction drilling optimization schemes, quick convergence of solutions and simplicity of methods are still challenging. These issues are drawbacks in obtaining the maximum potential benefits from the optimization process. Therefore, this paper applies a new optimization method, Harris Hawk optimization to the thermal drilling process of AISI 304 stainless steel. The algorithm minimizes the axial force, determination error, radial force, and radial error and maximizes the bushing length as the major output of the process. The proposed approach was tested with experimental data obtained from the literature. The obtained results indicate that the optimal production is feasible. An example is given here of the results of the input parameters for the minimum axial force, which is as follows: After 500 iterations, the optimal axial force yields a tool cylindrical region diameter of 5.78593 mm, a friction angle of 60 degrees, a friction contact area ratio of 57.7082, workpiece thickness of 3 mm, feed rate of 140 mm/min and rotational speed of 3002.85 rpm, which can be applied. The results assist engineers in implementing optimal conditions for the drilling process. The outcome of this study strengthens decisions to establish thresholds of values that are less or more than expected thereby providing a basis for comparison, reward, and reprimand for workers. Thus the drilling process can be optimized.

Abstract

In the composite industry, green fillers transported between locations face undesirable impacts of road surface on powder loads but few methods accurately account for this challenge in tapped density measurements. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a methodology to help composite development engineers manage the transportation of orange particles in transit, on vehicles as they move from the particle production locations to the production process locations. In this paper, the Taguchi method-simplex algorithm (TM-SA) method is proposed for the tapped density optimization of orange peel particulates (OPPs). OPPs of 0.425 and 0.600mm for automobile applications are optimized using experimental data. Managing the transportation process of orange peel particulates and their outcomes needs managing substantial tapped density information. Taguchi method was integrated into the objective function of a simplex algorithm. The tapped density parameters were optimized at the lowest parametric values and the constraints were formulated. It was revealed that for the 0.425mm orange peel particulates, the optimal values and volumetric values were lower by 0.09% and lower by 4.06%, respectively. For the 0.600mm, the optimal values and volumetric values were higher by 0.005% and 6.91%, respectively, when the current method was compared with the literature values from the grey relational analysis. The results at optimality support the effectiveness of the method and were validated by the grey relational analysis results from the literature. The utility of our research is to help green filler powder manufacturers assure cost-effective decisions and logistics delivery optimization.
