Abstract :

We use many kinds of combinations of raw materials and production levels in producing composite materials. Testing all the states are difficult or even impossible. Taguchi method is a numerical method which predicts optimum state of composite materials using special orthogonal arrays. In this research we have discussed useablity of this method and its’ potential in finding optimum mix design of LWACs. With making 54 different mix designs in laboratory and comparison between taguchi’s prediction and real experiments’ results we will show the useablity of finding optimum mix design of LWAC with a suitable accuracy by this method.
