Coating technology is an increasingly popular method for creating special designs and getting different appearance to denim fabrics. Depending on the expected properties from denim fabrics, the process parameters of coating can be changed. It is important issue how process parameters affect the comfort characteristics of denim fabrics. The present study is aimed at optimizing the various coating process parameters for the air permeability properties of denim fabrics by using Taguchi method. The parameters selected for optimization are squeeze pressure, viscosity of coating fluid, fabric passing speed, drying temperature and weft density of fabrics. An L27 (3 5 ) orthogonal design was chosen as experimental plan. In the evaluations with Taguchi Method, analyses of the signal to noise ratio (S/N) and variance (ANOVA) were used. The results show that weft density and viscosity have significant influence on the air permeability properties of coated denim fabrics.

This paper investigates the application of a Taguchi method to reduce warpage problem dealing with process parameters during production of bonding sheets. For this purpose, analysis was carried out by utilizing a combination of process parameters based on a two-level L12 Taguchi orthogonal design. The signal-to-noise and the analysis of variance are used to find the optimum levels and to indicate the impact of the process parameters on warpage. The results show that the method can reduce warpage by about 94%, and a verification test is also conducted to prove its effectiveness after the optimum levels of process parameters are determined. It can thus be concluded that this Taguchi method is suitable to solve the quality problems that occur due to warpage.

In the present work, Taguchi method was used for the optimization of geometric parameters for double pin joint configurations. The orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio, and analysis of variance were employed to study the effect of geometric parameters on the bearing strength of the joints. Geometric parameters, i.e. the distance from the free edge of the specimen to the diameter of the first hole (E/D) ratio, width of the specimen to the diameter of the hole (W/D) ratio, the distance between the two holes to the diameter of the hole (P/D) ratio and side width to the diameter of the hole (K/D) ratio were investigated for the serial and parallel hole configurations. The results demonstrate that the E/D ratio is the most significant parameter to increase the bearing strength in both serial and parallel pin joint configurations. Its percentage contribution is about 84.5% and 64.23% in serial and parallel pin joint configurations, respectively. Characteristic curve with Tsai–Wu failure criterion was used for the prediction of the bearing strength in the joints numerically. A good agreement was obtained between experimental results and numerical predictions.

The present study considers the friction behavior of chemically deposited Ni-P-W coatings and optimization of the coating process parameters for minimum friction using Taguchi method. The study is carried out by varying the combination of four coating process parameters, namely, concentration of nickel source, concentration of reducing agent, concentration of tungsten source, and annealing temperature. The friction tests are conducted in a plate-on-roller configuration by keeping the coated sample fixed against a rotating steel roller. The optimum combination of process parameters for minimum friction coefficient is obtained from the analysis of S/N ratio. Furthermore, a statistical analysis of variance reveals that the concentration of nickel source solution has the most significant influence in controlling friction characteristics of Ni-P-W coating. The surface morphology and composition of coatings are also studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersed x-ray analysis, and x-ray diffraction analysis.

In this paper, the authors present an experimental study of roughness characteristics of electroless Ni-B coatings and optimization of the coating process parameters based on L27 Taguchi orthogonal design. Three coating process parameters are considered viz. bath temperature, reducing agent concentration, and nickel source concentration. It is observed that concentration of reducing agent together with bath temperature play a vital role in controlling the roughness characteristics of the coatings. The analysis yields the optimum coating parameter combination for minimum roughness. A reduction of about 15% is observed in roughness at the optimal condition compared to the initial condition. The microstructure, composition, and the phase content of the coating are also studied with the help of scanning electron microscopes energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively.

Injection molding is one of the most important processes in manufacturing nowadays. Thus, attention must be give towards the optimization of the product defects. Parameters have been chosen by screening tests to improve the process quality. The main purpose of this study is to optimize the processing condition using Taguchi Method on shrinkage for HDPE-Clay specimen. The experiment starts by preparing the mixture between HDPE and clay. Then, screening test is conducted to obtain the parameters. The parameters are melt temperature, injection speed, injection pressure and cooling time. By using the array orthogonal L9 (34), signal to noise ratio and ANOVA were conducted. Based on the S / N ratio analysis, best combination can be produced for warpage (melt temperature: 190°C, injection speed: 40%, injection pressure: 30% and cooling time: 3 seconds). While for ANOVA, melt temperature is most significant with 60.28% for warpage.

This paper presents the use of the Taguchi method, Computational-Fluid-Dynamics and electromagnetic field analysis to optimize the design of a micro wind turbine for a dental fiber handpiece. An orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio and analysis of variance were used to study the multiple-objectives in the micro wind turbine design. The results showed that: (1) the wire slot fill factor and stator angle have a significant influence on the flow rate, whereas wire slot fill factor and inlet dimensions have a significant effect on the pressure drop; (2) the micro wind turbine reduces electricity usage by 25 watts in a day and produces brightness of 20,000-23,000 lux. The proposed design of the micro wind turbine not only saves energy but also reduces the need for replacement halogen lamp.

Polyester fibre is the synthetic fiber made with man-made fibers. Its surface is smooth with the texture of fine linen. It has good flexibility and durability and is the best non-iron fibres. In order to promote the accuracy and reduce the quality deviation of melt spinning, the Taguchi method was adopted in the melt spinning process. The aim of the research is to enhance the optimization of the melt spinning process using the material polyester. First, the Taguchi method is applied to establish the design of experiment. An analysis of variance will be done to arrive at the significant factors that influence the melt spinning quality the most. Lastly, confirmation experiments verified the reproducibility of this experiment. Confirmed by the experiments, results showed that the obtained SN ratios were greater than the signal-to-noise ratio of nine orthogonal array experiments and this means the experiment is reliable.
