Shear forming is a versatile process for manufacturing complex lightweight components which are required in increasing numbers by many different industries. Inherent advantages of the process are simple tooling, low tool costs, good external and internal surface quality, close dimensional...

The paper reports a robust parameter design experiment, where we have used Taguchi's product array and a combined array simultaneously. This was done as part of a research project dealing with experimental design to optimise the process of sheet metal spinning. We found that the classical...

The paper deals with a method for the analysis of highly fractionated factorial designs proposed by Raghavarao and Altan (2003). We show that the method will find "active" factors with almost any set of random numbers. Once that an alias set is found active, Raghavarao and Altan (2003) claim...
