Empirical study on stress distribution zone during machining of dracs using finite element analysis, taguchi's design of experiments and response surface methodology

Today's World manufacturing industries is widely focusing on numerical, statistical and analytical methods. In this paper, three of those methods have been employed namely finite element analysis, Taguchi's design of experiments and response surface methodology. Initially stress distribution in primary and secondary deformation zone in machining of DRACs was conducted using finite element analysis based on Taguchi's design of experiments. The experimental results were then correlated using Taguchi method, for identification of optimum cutting parameters followed by mathematical model using Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
