Application of Taguchi Method in the Optimization of Swimming Capability for Robotic Fish
No full textIn this paper, we applied the Taguchi method to evaluate the maximum swimming speed of a robotic fish under the limitation of the output of the motor. Four factors were considered in the optimization: the caudal-fin aspect ratio, the caudal fin stiffness, the oscillating frequency and the stiffness of the spring that transmits forces from the actuators to the foil. Because of the power limitations, the parameter's space was irregular. Since the Taguchi method requires a regular parameter space, we divided the parameter space into a regular space and the remaining irregular spaces. Within only 25 trials, the frequency and the spring stiffness were determined as the main factors in the regular space by the orthogonal design. Six more trials were carried out in the remaining irregular space with a higher frequency and spring stiffness. The fastest swimming speed of 870 mm/s, approximately 2.6 BL (Body Lengths)/s, was acquired, when the frequency reached 12Hz and with infinite spring stiffness. This method is efficient for exploring the maximum locomotor capabilities of robotic fish and may also be useful for other robots as no modelling is required
Effects of Parameters on the Setting Time of Fly Ash Based Geopolymers Using Taguchi Method
No full textAbstractGeopolymers are the inorganic polymer materials possessing properties superior than the properties of conventional materials. Geopolymers are also environment friendly materials. This paper determines the effects of parameters such as silica to alumina (Si/Al) ratio, sodium to alumina (Na/Al) ratio, water to solid (W/S) ratio, and temperature on the setting of fly ash geopolymers. The experiments were designed using Taguchi model. The setting time was determined by Vicat Needle apparatus. The Si/Al - 2.2, Na/Al - 1.4, W/S - 0.30, and temperature of 40 °C increased the setting time and workability of the geopolymers. The Si/Al ratio of 1.8, Na/Al ratio of 1.0, W/S ratio of 0.20, and temperature of 80° C caused fast setting of geopolymers. The setting time of geopolymers can be optimized using Taguchi method for particular applications

Engineering of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase by Ser477X/Gln481X saturation mutagenesis for efficient production of 3-hydroxybutyrate-based copolyesters
No full textClass II polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase from Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 (PhaC1_[Ps]) synthesizes 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)-based copolyesters, P[3HB-co-3-hydroxyalkanoate (3HA)]. Four sites (130, 325, 477, and 481) in PhaC1_[Ps] that affect the cellular content and 3HB fraction of P(3HB-co-3HA) produced have been identified. Simple combination of beneficial mutations at the sites successfully increased 3HB fraction in the copolymers (62 mol%). However, polymer content was often largely decreased (0.2 wt%) regardless of an enhancement in 3HB fraction, compared to the wild-type enzyme (14 mol% 3HB and 12 wt%) [Matsumoto et al. (2006) Biomacromolecules, 7:2436-2442]. In the present study, we attempted to explore residues combination at the four sites to overcome the problem. Here, pairwise saturation mutagenesis at the neighboring sites 477 and 481 of PhaC1_[Ps] was performed using single and double mutations at sites 130 and 325 as templates, to increase 3HB fraction in the copolymer without reducing the polymer content in recombinant Escherichia coli. These useful PhaC1_[Ps] mutants were screened based on enhanced P(3HB) content, and were subsequently applied to P(3HB-co-3HA) production. Among the mutants tested, the Ser325Cys/Ser477Lys/Gln481Leu mutant exhibited increased 3HB fraction in copolymer (63 mol%) and also polymer content (18 wt%), indicating that mutation scrambling was effective for obtaining the desired mutants
Enhanced cellular content and lactate fraction of the poly(lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) polyester produced in recombinant Escherichia coli by the deletion of sigma factor RpoN
No full textA new approach at the transcriptional level was applied to lactate-based polyester production. Four sigma factor disruptants, Delta rpoN, Delta rpoS, Delta fliA and Delta fecl, of Escherichia con were used as hosts for poly(lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) production from glucose. Among them, Delta rpoN caused dual positive effects of polymer production, enhanced cellular content and lactate fraction
Metode Pcr-Topsis Untuk Optimasi Taguchi Multirespon (Studi Kasus Pada Proses Pembuatan Kertas)
No full textDalam bidang industri, statistika biasa digunakan dalam hal pengambilan
keputusan dalam suatu masalah, salah satu metode yang digunakan dalam
statistika untuk pengambilan keputusan adalah metode optimasi. Salah satu
metode optimasi yang sering dipakai adalah metode Taguchi, metode ini
diperkenalkan oleh Dr. Genichi Taguchi pada tahun 1940. Metode Taguchi
merupakan metode yang efisien digunakan dalam off line kontrol kualitas dimana
desain percobaan dikombinasikan dengan penurunan kualitas. Metode ini
mencakup tiga tahap desain yaitu desain sistem, desain parameter, dan desain
toleransi. Dalam dunia nyata jelas bahwa lebih dari satu karakteristik kualitas
harus dipertimbangkan untuk produk industri yang paling baik, yaitu dalam
sebagian besar aplikasi perhatian pelanggan adalah dengan masalah multirespon.
Namun demikian, metode Taguchi tidak tepat untuk mengoptimalkan masalah
multirespon karena teknik penilaian adalah prosedur optimasi utama dalam
metode Taguchi. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, peneliti mengusulkan suatu
prosedur yang efektif disebut PCR-TOPSIS yang didasarkan pada kemampuan
proses ratio (PCR) teori dan teori preferensi order by kesamaan dengan solusi
ideal (TOPSIS) untuk mengoptimalkan masalah multirespon. Sehingga dengan
metode PCR-TOPSIS, kita dapat memperoleh solusi yang terbaik dan dapat
menghasilkan solusi yang memuaskan untuk masalah multirespon dalam proses

In industry, the statistics commonly used in decision-making in a problem, one of
the statistical methods used in decision-making is a method for optimization. One
of the optimization method that is often used is the Taguchi method, this method
was introduced by Dr. Genichi Taguchi in 1940 Taguchi method is an efficient
method used in off-line quality control in which the experimental design
combined with a decrease in quality. This method includes three stages, namely
the design of the system design, parameter design, and tolerance design. In the
real world it is clear that more than one quality characteristic must be considered
for the best industrial products, which in most applications is the customer's
attention to the problem multirespon. However, the Taguchi method is not
appropriate to optimize multirespon problem because valuation techniques are the
main optimization procedure in the Taguchi method. To overcome this problem,
the author proposes a procedure called PCR-TOPSIS effective based on process
capability ratio (PCR) theory and the theory of order preference by similarity to
ideal solution (TOPSIS) to optimize multirespon problem. So that the PCRTOPSIS
method, we can obtain the best solution and can produce satisfactory
solutions to problems multirespon in the papermaking process at PT. Adiprima

[[alternative]]The Application of the Taguchi Mechods to the Optimum Process of the A390 Aluminum Alloy
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this research was to obtain the optimum process of the A390 Aluminum Alloy by Taguchi Methods. Effects of processing parameters, including the modification quantity of phosphorous, the temperature and holding time of solution treatment, the temperature of quenching water, the holding time of preaging and the temperature and holding time of artificial aging, on the machinability (tensile strength, hardness and wear resistance) promotion of the A390 Aluminum Alloy were investigated in this study.
The results indicated that optimum parameters of modification were 0.03% of phosphorous, solution treatment at 480℃ for 4 hours, quenching at 55℃, preaging for 24 hours and artificial aging at 150℃ for 3 hours could increase the tensile strength, hardness and wear resistance of the A390 Aluminum Alloy together. For results of robust design, solution treatment at 480℃ for 3 hours and quenching at 75℃ were modified and the other parameters didn't change. The adjustment might acquire robust tensile strength, but depressed hardness and wear resistance slightly. Modification of phosphorous and solution treatment were the most important parameters of the optimum process of the A390 Aluminum Alloy. The temperature and holding time of artificial aging were reduced with the modification of 0.03% phosphorous.
The above results of experiment can give the manufacturers for reference and hope this research is valuable to those who devote the improvement of product with Taguchi Methods.
