Optimization of a New Wedge Disc Brake Using Taguchi Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
In this study, a new wedge disc brake performance is assessed using brake dynamometer and Taguchi approach. The Taguchi method is widely used in the industry for optimizing the product and the process conditions. Taguchi orthogonal design method is used to gain better understanding about the factors that effect of wedge brake performance using L9 orthogonal array. Three control factors were considered as applied pressure, vehicle speed and wedge angle inclination, each at three levels is selected. The most affects parameters on brake performance were performed using the analysis of signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and ANOVA analysis, respectively. It can be concluded that Taguchi method is reliable and reduce the time and experimental costs. In addition, the results indicated that the applied pressure and wedge angle are the most significant parameters for evaluation the wedge disc brake.
