A low-cost approach for experimenting using numerical methods, including finite element analysis (FEA), is presented. The method is illustrated by its application to the design of a D-shaped shaft. A ...

Taguchi Method: An engineering approach that focuses on reducing variability and optimising system performance via robust design techniques.

It is more than a decade since Genichi Taguchi's ideas on quality improvement were introduced in the United States. His parameter-design approach for reducing variation in products and processes has ...

Supercomputers simulate products and manufacturing processes within minutes. In the Computer Aided Robust Design CAROD project, researchers are developing new methods and software that ...
