In industrial processes decreasing variation is very important while achieving the targets. For manufacturers, finding out optimal settings of product and process parameters that are capable of producing desired results under great conditions is crucial. In most cases, the quality response is measured on a continuous scale. However, in some cases, the desired quality response may be qualitative (categorical). There are many effective methods to design robust products/process through industrial experimentation when the response variable is continuous. But methods proposed so far in the literature for robust design with categorical response variables have various limitations. This study offers a simple and effective method for the analysis of categorical response data for robust product or process design. This method handles both location and dispersion effects to explore robust settings in an effective way. The method is illustrated on two cases: A foam molding process design and an iron-casting process design.

An adaptive simulated annealing method for assembly line balancing and a case study
Güden, Hüseyin; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
Assembly line balancing problem is one of the most studied NP-Hard problems. NP-Hardness leads us to search for a good solution instead of the optimal solution especially for the big-size problems. Meta-heuristic algorithms are the search methods which are developed to find good solutions to the big-size and combinatorial problems. In this study, it is aimed at solving the multi-objective multi-model assembly line balancing problem of a company. A meta-heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the determini...
A novel modal superposition method with response dependent nonlinear modes for periodic vibration analysis of large MDOF nonlinear systems
Ferhatoglu, Erhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
Design of complex mechanical structures requires to predict nonlinearities that affect the dynamic behavior considerably. However, finding the forced response of nonlinear structures is computationally expensive, especially for large ordered realistic finite element models. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to reduce computational time significantly utilizing Response Dependent Nonlinear Mode (RDNM) concept in determining the steady state periodic response of nonlinear structures. The method is ap...
A novel phase-averaging method based on vortical structure correlation
Vanierschot, Maarten; Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W. (2016-10-25)
In this paper we investigate a new method for phase averaging based on the correlation of vortical structures in a ow eld. The method requires the presence of a large scale precessing structure in the ow, such as for instance the precessing vortex core found in swirling ows. The transformation from time to phase is done by correlation of the instantaneous Q elds to determine the phase shift between two instants of the precession. Once the phase shift is determined, the dierent owelds are rotated bac...
A Lagrangean relaxation based approach for the capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems
ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01)
This study considers the operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations is selected to be processed and assigned to the machines together with their required tools. The purchase or usage of the required tools incurs a cost. The machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities. The objective is to maximize the total weight of the assigned operations minus the total tooling costs. We use Lagrangean relaxation approach to obtain upper and lower...
A unifying grid approach for solving potential flows applicable to structured and unstructured grid configurations
Cete, A. Ruhsen; Yuekselen, M. Adil; Kaynak, Uenver (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01)
In this study, an efficient numerical method is proposed for unifying the structured and unstructured grid approaches for solving the potential flows. The new method, named as the "alternating cell directions implicit - ACDI", solves for the structured and unstructured grid configurations equally well. The new method in effect applies a line implicit method similar to the Line Gauss Seidel scheme for complex unstructured grids including mixed type quadrilateral and triangle cells. To this end, designated al...
