ANALYSIS OF OPTIMIZING EFFICIENCY IN LARGE ORTHOGONAL EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS

Abstract

In engineering, combinatorial designs are especially important during the parameter design phase. With a comparison to Taguchi's designs, we concentrated on constructing and using experimental designs using orthogonal arrays of strength three. The methodologies used for constructing the designs were highlighted in our case study, which served as an example of the ideas underpinning experimental design. In this case, the strain-gauge transducer's displacement signal was being measured by means of a passive filter network. The filter's transfer function was developed using Kirchhoff's current law, and equations were obtained to use in setting the network's descriptor parameters (DP) such that it would match the functional requirements. Pole location and filter gain were two functional requirements that could not be accomplished without these defining parameters.
