Multi-objective optimization of clinching joints quality using Grey-based Taguchi method

Clinching joint quality and functionality may have undesirable features because of the choice of the forming process parameters. In fact, there are different factors controlling the mechanical connection strength such as the tools’ geometry and the joint final shape. This paper presents the implemen...
