... for tribological tests Optimization Tribology Taguchi method Self-healing Al6061 Metal composite To prove the concept of self-healing in developed material, the solder material was filled in semi-solid form into the 6 mm hole drilled in the Al6061 pins. Further, a small opening...

... of fin and outer diameter of the heat sink on heat transfer are reported here. In this analysis, branch angle (α = 10°) is considered. Design/methodology/approach The Taguchi method, a powerful tool to design optimization, is applied for the tests and standard L9 orthogonal array with three factors...

..., and the conceptual design is then created. This study conducts computer-aided engineering analysis, incorporating the Taguchi method and TOPSIS method, to obtain the optimal design of bionic products. Findings The proposed design process focuses on improving the product structure instead of changing...
