This research is also useful for determining the geometric parameters of influence on the fatigue safety factor of customized hip implants. Taguchi methods and ANOVA were used to find out which geometric parameters are statistically significant for the higher fatigue safety factor of the hip implant. Multiple

Zeng et al. [23] used the multi-population genetic algorithm (MPGA) to optimize the operation and capacity strategy for CCHP–GSHP coupling system‚ resulting in excellent energy-saving and cost-saving effect in a case study. Esen et al. [24] utilized Taguchi method to optimize the GSHP system and concluded that the depth of borehole is the most significant parameter. Even though many studies have been conducted with the aim of investigating and evaluating GSHP‚ still more studies are needed to understand
