Abstract Abstract The present study deals with the machining of hybrid Al 7075/B4C/Gr composite using Abrasive Aqua Jet Machining. The effects of selected input factors, i.e., water jet pressure (WJP), stand-off distance (SOD), and traverse speed (TS) on the performance characteristics, namely taper angle (TA), surface roughness (Ra), and the material removal rate (MRR) are investigated. The experimental runs and test strategies are formulated using the Response Surface Methodology-Central Composite Design approach. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the effect of input factors and their interactions with performance characteristics. MRR, Ra, and TA optimum condition and mathematical equations were also developed. Further, the multi-optimization method “Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution” is considered to find out the best combinations of input factors for optimized output factors on the hybrid composite. The ANOVA results confirm that among the input factors, WJP and SOD are the most significant factors, and the percentage distribution of input factors are found to be jet pressure (55.21%), stand-off distance (23.36%), and traverse speed (2.56%). The multi-objective optimum conditions of the input factors are WJP (A1) 210 bar, SOD (B1), and TS (C3) 30 mm/min, that produce optimal values of the considered responses, i.e., MRR up to 4.8703 mm3/min, Ra up to 3.57 μm and TA up to 0.189°. The TA has improved by 49.6% through the multi-objective optimum results when compared with single parameter optimized results. Article Highlights Hybrid Al7075/B4C/Gr composite fabricated through the rotary stir casting technique Experimental planning and designing layouts using Response Surface Methodology scheme and mathematical equations are produced with Design Expert 11.0. The best TA was obtained by RSM-TOPSIS approach, found at a lower WJP and SOD and a higher TS.

Tool chatter is an unavoidable phenomenon encountered in machining processes. Acquired raw chatter signals are contaminated with various types of ambient noises. Signal processing is an efficient technique to explore chatter as it eliminates unwanted background noise present in the raw signal. In this study, experimentally recorded raw chatter signals have been denoised using wavelet transform in order to eliminate the unwanted noise inclusions. Moreover, effect of machining parameters such as depth of cut ( d), feed rate ( f) and spindle speed ( N) on chatter severity and metal removal rate has been ascertained experimentally. Furthermore, in order to quantify the chatter severity, a new parameter called chatter index has been evaluated considering aforesaid denoised signals. A set of 15 experimental runs have been performed using Box–Behnken design of experiment. These experimental observations have been used to develop mathematical models for chatter index and metal removal rate considering response surface methodology. In order to check the statistical significance of control parameters, analysis of variance has been performed. Furthermore, more experiments are conducted and these results are compared with the theoretical ones in order to validate the developed response surface methodology model.

Abstract Waste generated from industrial processing of seafood is an enormous source of commercially valuable proteins. One among the underutilized seafood waste is shrimp waste, which primarily consists of head and carapace. Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) is the widely cultivated shrimp in Asia and contributes to 90 % of aggregate shrimp production in the world. This work was focused on extraction as well as purification of value-added proteins from L. vannamei waste in a single step aqueous two phase system (ATPS). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and trisodium citrate system were chosen for the ATPS owing to their adequate partitioning and less toxic nature. Response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented for the optimization of independent process variables such as PEG molecular weight (2000 to 6000), pH (6 to 8) and temperature (25 to 45 °C). The results obtained from RSM were further validated using a Multi-objective genetic algorithm (MGA). At the optimized condition of PEG molecular weight 2000, pH 8 and temperature 35 °C, maximum partition coefficient and protein yield were found to be 2.79 and 92.37 %, respectively. Thus, L. vannamei waste was proved to be rich in proteins, which could be processed industrially through cost-effective non-polluting ATPS extraction, and RSM coupled MGA could be a potential tool for such process optimization.

The ultraviolet (UV) curing of slider-suspension attachment is going to change from a manual to an automated process. As a result, the bonding parameters of adhesive between slider and suspension needs to be optimized. This paper aims to study two output responses of the UV curable epoxy adhesive i.e., shear strength force and pitch static attitude (PSA) of the joint between slider and suspension in a head gimbal assembly (HGA). Four process parameters were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM) based on face-centered central composite design (FCCD). The RSM was applied to establish a mathematical model to correlate the significance of process parameters and the responses. Then the based multi-objective was applied to determine a quadratic model and obtained the output maximization at 224 g of shear strength force and PSA value close to the target at 1.8 degrees. The input process parameters were optimized at 0.7 s of UV bottom cure time, 120 °C of UV dual side temperature, 5.0 s of UV dual side cure time, and 230 μm of adhesive dot size. The validation experiment showed a prediction response error of less than 7% of the actual value.
