OPTIMIZATION OF BURSTING STRENGTH OF SINGLE JERSEY FABRICS WITH TAGUCHI ORTHOGONAL DESIGN

In this study, it was aimed to optimize the bursting strength of single jersey fabrics with Taguchi orthogonal design. The experiments were performed by using L9 orthogonal matrix with respect to Taguchi approach. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and signal/noise ratio were used to evaluate the experiment results. In the case of full factorial design, it is necessary to perform 27 experiments to find out the optimum configuration but by using Taguchi approach, this was lower to 9 experiments.
