Conducting Data Analysis for Electrohydraulic Valves

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to determine the life span of the electrohydraulic valve in different test conditions. Using the Taguchi method an experiment was designed to be formed by combining parameters and their levels. After one test, within the Taguchi test plan, the data obtained needed to be analyzed. Hence, the methodology of analyzing data will be presented so that the medium life span of the valve, in predetermined conditions, can be determined. The first step is to collect experimental data after its homogeneity must be verified. The third step is to represent graphically experimental data in order to adopt the theoretical distribution law. Using this information, the statistical indicators of the life span will be determined.
