Expected range of the output response for the optimum input parameters utilizing the modified Taguchi approach

Abstract

Purpose Scatter in the outcome of repeated experiments is unavoidable due to measurement errors in addition to the non-linear nature of the output responses with unknown influential input parameters. It is a standard practice to select an orthogonal array in the Taguchi approach for tracing optimum input parameters by conducting a few number of experiments and confirm them through additional experimentation (if necessary). The purpose of this paper is to present a simple methodology and its validation with existing test results in finding the expected range of the output response by suggesting modifications in the Taguchi method. Design/methodology/approach The modified Taguchi approach is proposed to find the optimum process parameters and the expected range of the output response. Findings This paper presents a simple methodology and its validation with existing test results in finding the expected range of the output response by suggesting modifications in the Taguchi method. Research limitations/implications Adequacy of this methodology should be examined by considering the test data on different materials and structures. Originality/value The introduction of Chauvenet’s criterion and opposing the signal-to-noise ratio transformation on repeated experiments of each test run will provide fruitful results and less computation burden.

Multi-objective optimization to specify optimal selective laser melting process parameters for SS316 L powder

“…The modified Taguchi approach has been extensively evaluated for its effectiveness (Anantha et al, 2023;Buddi et al, 2018a;Dharmendra et al, 2019;Koneru et al, 2022;Rajyalakshmi and Boggarapu, 2019;Satyanarayana et al, 2019Satyanarayana et al, , 2021, with a particular comparison made in (Rajyalakshmi and Nageswara Rao, 2019) against the optimal solutions obtained using a genetic algorithm (GA) and an ensemble of meta-models (EMs) (Zhou et al, 2018) as presented in (Chaudhry and Ahmed, 2014). Furthermore, Chaudhry and Ahmed (2014) introduced a spreadsheet-based GA method specifically designed for optimizing the initial design of aircraft.…”

Optimización de parámetros del proceso de corte con láser para Polimetilmetacrilato y Policloruro de vinilo

“…El corte láser ofrece calidad de acabado superior a cualquier otro proceso [5], es mejor que otras herramientas de corte ya que es versátil, sin desgaste, de alta utilización, flexibilidad y alta precisión [6]. El corte usa un haz bajo de potencia, mejor eficiencia y buena calidad de haz (aproximadamente 0,2 mm de ancho de 80-200W) [7].…”
