Liquid injection thrust vectoring nozzles are another advanced design that allow pitch and yaw control from un-gimbaled nozzles. India's PSLV calls its design "Secondary Injection Thrust Vector Control System"; strontium perchlorate is injected through various fluid paths in the nozzle to achieve the desired control. Some ICBMs and boosters, such as the Titan IIIC and Minuteman II, use similar designs. 1.4 Materials used: In order to withstand the higher temperatures of exhaust gases, the nozzle must be manufactured with such type of materials which can tolerate the variation in operating conditions. Commonly used materials in the manufacturing of nozzles are: • Nickel-based alloy • Titanium alloy • Ceramic matrix composite Here we picked …show more content…

Edwards Deming The importance of statistical quality control was taken to Japan in the 1950's by W Edward Deming. This started what Montgomery calls a second Industrial Era, and sometimes the quality revolution. After the Second World War, Japanese products were of terrible quality. They were cheaply made and not very good. In the 1960s their quality started improving. The Japanese car industry adopted statistical quality control procedures and conducted experiments which started this new era. Total Quality Management (TQM), Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) are management techniques that have come out of this statistical quality revolution - statistical quality control and design of experiments. Taguchi, a Japanese engineer, discovered and published a lot of the techniques that were later brought to the West, using an independent development of what he referred to as orthogonal arrays. In the West these were referred to as fractional factorial designs. These are both very similar and we will discuss both of these in this course. He came up with the concept of robust parameter design and process robustness. The Modern …show more content…

This evolved in the 1960's when medical advances were previously based on anecdotal data; a doctor would examine six patients and from this wrote a paper and published it. The incredible biases resulting from these kinds of anecdotal studies became known. The outcome was a move toward making the randomized double-blind clinical trial the gold standard for approval of any new product, medical device, or procedure. The scientific application of the statistical procedures became very important. Brief history behind ANOVA First used by behavioral scientists in the 1930s, use of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) grew quickly after World War II, and exactly paralleled incorporation of statistical significance testing in general. Detailed consideration of this history suggests several reasons for the pattern of slow growth, followed by rapid institutionalization. In particular, ANOVA stood duty as a warrant of scientific legitimacy among behavioral scientists, a fact that may also be relevant to understanding recent critiques by psychologists of its overuse and misuse. 3.
