dc.description.abstractMonitoring density changes during transportation of composite fillers is the principal reason for composite industries implementation of the tapped density concept. At present, very sparse nformation exists on tapped density optimisation for orange peel particles (OPPs). Experimental results on the principal process parameters indicate G1H1I2J3 as the best experimental run, which translates to 257.956 g and 78.076 cm3, as well as 254.939 g and 72.94 cm3, for masses and volumes of the 0.425 and 0.600 mm OPPs, respectively. Additionally, the Taguchi method was applied to arrive at an optimal parametric setting of G2H2I1J1 for comparative purposes. This translates to 257.723 g and 75.031 cm3 for the mass and volume of the 0.425 OPPs, as well as 254.952 g and 77.982 cm3 for the mass and volume of 0.600 mm OPPs. In comparison, the GRA values produced an improvement over other optimal values. The unique contributions of this paper are principally (i) application of GRA in a novel manner, incorporating a harmonic mean in factor-level determination and computation of S/N responses, (ii) development of new indices of tapped density, and (iii) introduction of economic factors in tapped density computations, incorporating inflation and interest factors. The practical utility of the demonstrated approach lies in reducing the uncertainties of density measurements in the transportation of green fillers for use as composite reinforcements.en_US
