Abstract In this study, an effective optimization approach was proposed to improve acoustical behaviors of PU foams. The important parameters of PU foams: content of water, silicone oil and catalyst A1 were chosen and their effects on sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss of PU foams were studied by using Taguchi methods. In addition, bamboo chips were incorporated into PU foams as fillers to improve the acoustical properties of PU foams. Four controlled factors: the content of water, silicone oil, catalyst A1 and bamboo chips with three levels for each factor were chosen and Taguchi method based on orthogonal array L9(34) was employed to conduct the experiments. Based on the results of Taguchi’s orthogonal array L9(34), signal-to noise (S/N) analysis was used and developed to determine an optimal formulation of PU-bamboo-chips foam composites.

In this research, orthogonal array of L27 in Taguchi Method was used to optimize the process parameters (control factors) variation in 45nm n-channel device with considering the interaction effect. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to study the performance characteristics of the device. There are only five process parameters (control factors) were varied for 3 levels to performed 27 experiments. Whereas, the two noise factors were varied for 2 levels to get four readings of Vth for every row of experiment. In this study, nominal-the-best characteristic was used in an effort to minimize the variance of Vth. The results show that the Vth values have least variance and percent different from the target value (0.287V) for this device is 1.42% (0.293V). This value is closer with International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS) prediction.

Abstract: Excavators are popular earthmoving vehicles that consists of a bucket, arm, rotating cab, and movable tracks. These components provide superior digging power and mobility, allowing this heavy equipment to perform a variety of functions. Currently, Industries which uses crawler excavators having Carbon Steel material for movable track roller are facing problem of strength, weight and high cost of track roller material and processes. Hence, selection of proper relevant material and its manufacturing processes will be done which could increase strength as well as decrease weight and overall cost of excavator under carriage track roller assembly parts. Thus, after suitable identification of materials and manufacturing process of track roller assembly parts, optimization and analysis will be done to confirm selected materials. In the present work, by using Taguchi approach, the turning of EN8D carbon steel is carried out in order to optimize the turning process parameters. The present paper deals with the optimization of selected process parameters, i.e., Speed, Feed rate, Depth of cut. Taguchi orthogonal array is designed with three levels of machining parameters and different experiments are done using L9 (3^3) orthogonal array. Taguchi method stresses the importance of studying the response variation using the signal to noise (S/N) ratio, resulting the minimization of quality characteristic variation due to uncontrollable parameter. Predicted value of cutting parameters and verification test values are valid when compared with the optimum value. It is found that optimum value of verification test is within the limits of predicted value and the objective of the work is full filled.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of milling time on binary magnesium-titanium (Mg-Ti) alloy synthesized by mechanical alloying. A powder mixture of Mg and Ti with the composition of Mg-15wt%Ti was milled in a planetary mill under argon atmosphere using a stainless steel container and balls. Milling process was carried out at 400 rpm for various milling time of 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30 hours. 3% n-heptane solution was added prior to milling process to avoid excessive cold welding of the powder. Then, as-milled powder was compacted under 400 MPa and sintered in a tube furnace at 500 °C in argon flow. The refinement analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns shows the presence of Mg-Ti solid solution when Mg-Ti powder was mechanically milled for 15 hours and further. Enhancements of Mg-Ti phase formation with a reduction in Mg crystallite size were observed with the increase in milling time. A prolonged milling time has increased the density and hardness of the sintered Mg-Ti alloy.

Melt-spun metallic Al86Ni9La5 glassy ribbons solidified at different circumferential speeds (Sc) were subjected to high-energy ball milling at room and cryogenic temperatures. Crystallization induced by milling was found in the Al86Ni9La5 solidified at lower circumferential speed (Sc = 14.7 m/s), while the Al86Ni9La5 with Sc = 36.6 m/s kept amorphous. Besides, a trend of structural rejuvenation during milling process was observed, as the onset temperatures (Tx1, Tx2) and the crystallization enthalpies (ΔH1, ΔH2) first decreased and then increased along with the milling time. We explored the structural origin of crystallization by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and found that the tricapped trigonal prism (TTP) Ni-centered clusters with a higher frequency in samples solidified at a lower cooling rate, which tend to link into medium-range orders (MROs), may promote crystallization by initiating the shear bands during milling. Based on the deformation mechanism and crush of metallic glasses, we presented a qualitative model to explain the structural rejuvenation during milling.

La0.5Ca0.5Mn0.5Fe0.5O3 was synthesized using the solid state reaction method. This method consists of two main processes: a milling process and a subsequent thermal treatment. Two samples at different conditions were produced: one using 2 h of milling time and 900&deg;C (M-I), and the other using 6 h of milling time and 1200&deg;C of thermal treatment (M-II).&nbsp; X-ray diffraction analysis indicated, in both cases, an orthorhombic crystalline ordering of the space group Pbnm. For the case of M-I, the material exhibited secondary phases, different than the desired phase; on the contrary, in M-II, these secondary phases were not present. The dielectric response determined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) performed in a temperature range between 20&deg;C and 300&deg;C exhibited a thermally activated semiconductor behavior with activation energies of Eg= 0.11&plusmn;0.05 eV and Eg= 0.47&plusmn;0.06 eV for M-I and M-II, respectively.

In this study, the Taguchi method, analysis of variance, and principal component analysis were used to design the optimal parameters with respect to different quality characteristics for the continuous electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous yarn. The experiment was designed using a Taguchi L9(34) orthogonal array. The Taguchi method is a unique statistical method for efficiently evaluating optimal parameters and the effects of different factors on quality characteristics. The experimental results obtained by this method are more accurate and reliable than one-factor-at-a-time experiments. The control factors discussed in this work include the draw ratio, nozzle size, flow rate, and draw temperature. The quality characteristics taken into consideration are fiber diameter, fiber uniformity, and fiber arrangement. The parameters to optimize the different quality characteristics were obtained from the main effect plot of the signal-to-noise ratios, after which analysis of variance and confidence intervals were applied to confirm that the results were acceptable. Multiple quality characteristics were analyzed by principal component analysis from the normalized signal-to-noise ratios and the principal component score. Combining the experimental and analysis results, the optimum parameters for multiple quality characteristics were found to be a draw ratio of 2.0, a nozzle number of 22 G, a flow rate of 7 ml/h, and a draw temperature 120℃.

Abstract Objective The insecticidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis directly depends on the yield of delta-endotoxins. In this study, various nutritional and cultural parameters influencing delta-endotoxin synthesis by a local isolate of B. thuringiensis Se13 were investigated using Taguchi methods. Methods In the first experiment, four factors, incubation period, incubation temperature, initial pH and medium, each at four levels, were selected and an orthogonal array layout of L16 was carried out. In the second experiment, Taguchi’s orthogonal array method of L27 was used to evaluate the effects of the different concentration of medium components. Taguchi’s signal–noise ratio and variance analysis were applied to determine the effect of the factors. After each experiment, verification studies were carried out using determined optimum conditions. Results The optimum conditions for incubation period, incubation temperature, initial pH, and medium determined as 72 h, 30°C, pH 9, and M4 medium, respectively. In the second experiment, soybean flour (5%), glucose (5%), KH2PO4 (0.3%), K2HPO4 (0.1%), MgSO4 (0.4%) were determined as the optimum conditions. The delta-endotoxin yield was elevated to 1559.25 μg mL−1 when the factors were adjusted to optimum level. Conclusion Optimization using the Taguchi method appeared to be a good choice for the overproduction of delta-endotoxin.

This chapter aims to optimize centreless grinding conditions using the Taguchi method for minimizing surface roughness. The grinding operation has been performed according to the L9 orthogonal array in a centreless grinding process. The centreless grinding experiments are carried out on the crane-hook pin of C40 steel. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and computation of signal to noise (S/N) ratio are adopted to determine the influence of grinding parameters (depth of cut [µm], regulating wheel speed [rpm], and coolant valve opening) on surface roughness. The depth of cut (µm) is found to be the most significant among the grinding parameters on the surface roughness. The signal to noise (S/N) ratio was calculated based on smaller the best criteria. The lower level of depth of cut, medium level of regulating wheel speed, and higher-level coolant valve opening is found to be optimal grinding condition according to the mean response and signal to noise (S/N) ratio.
