Abstract

This work describes an application of an integrated approach using the Taguchi method (TM), neural network (NN) and genetic algorithm (GA) for optimizing the lap joint quality of aluminum pipe and flange in automotive industry. The proposed approach (Taguchi-Neural-Genetic approach) consists of two phases. In first phase, the TM was adopted to collect training data samples for the NN. In second phase, a NN with a Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation (LMBP) algorithm was adopted to develop the relationship between factors and the response. Then, a GA based on a well-trained NN model was applied to determine the optimal factor settings. Experimental results illustrated the Taguchi-Neural-Genetic approach.
