Comparison of Fuzzy Intelligent Model and Taguchi Mathematical Model for the Prediction of Bursting Strength of Viscose Plain Knitted Fabrics

摘要

The main objective of this research is to compare the Fuzzy intelligent model and Taguchi mathematical model for the prediction of bursting strength of viscose plain knitted fabrics. The prediction models have been developed based on yarn tenacity and knitting stitch length as input variables and fabric bursting strength as output variable. The models developed in this study have been verified by experimental data and then compared with each other's in terms of prediction accuracy. It was found that both the models have ability and accuracy to predict the fabric bursting strength effectively in non-linear domain. However, Fuzzy intelligent model showed higher prediction accuracy than that of Taguchi mathematical model.
