Box-Wilson experimental design method, known as central composite design, is the design of any information-gathering exercises where variation is present. This method was devised to gather as much data as possible in spite of the low design cost. This method was employed to model the effect of mixing factors on several performances of 60 MPa high strength self compacting concrete and to numerically calculate the optimal mix proportion. The nonlinear relations between factors and responses of HSSCC were approximated in the form of second order polynomial equation. In order to characterize five performances like compressive strength, passing ability, segregation resistance, manufacturing cost and density depending on five factors like water-binder ratio, cement content, fine aggregate percentage, fly ash content and superplasticizer content, the experiments were made at the total 52 experimental points composed of 32 factorial points, 10 axial points and 10 center points. The study results showed that Box-Wilson experimental design was really effective in designing the experiments and analyzing the relation between factor and response.

Computer simulation models are in general quite complex and time-consuming to run, and therefore, a simpler meta-model is usually constructed for further analysis. In this paper, JANUS, a war-game simulator, is used to describe a certain tank combat situation. Then, second-order response surface and artificial neural network meta-models are developed using the data from eight different experimental designs. Relative performances of the developed meta-models are compared in terms of the mean squared error of prediction. Computational results indicate that, for the given problem, the second-order response surface meta-model generally performs better than the neural network, and the orthogonal array-based Latin hypercube design(LHD) or LHD using maximin distance criterion may be recommended.

최근 연구에서는 상용 통계분석 프로그램인 Minitab을 사용하여 실험 요소 설계 및 최적 공정조건을 구하는데 많이 이용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도금 제품의 Peeling 최적화를 위해 도금 전처리 공정인 에칭 및 화학 니켈 공정 시간을 인자로 설정하였다. 또한 2인자 2수준(2 factor 2 Level)의 직교 배열표를 구성하고 도금 제품의 밀착성을 만족하는 범위 내에서 설계변수에 의한 반응표면법(Response surface analysis)을 사용하여 최적 조건을 설정하였다. 실험 결과, 에칭 및 화학니켈 공정 시간의 주효과도에서 에칭 공정시간이 낮을수록, 화학니켈 공정시간이 높을수록 Peeling 값이 향상된다는 결과를 얻었다. 그리고 최적 조건을 도출하기 위한 방법으로 반응표면 설계법 중의 중심합성법을 사용하여 에칭(10min 15sec)및, 화학니켈(10min 15sec)의 최적 공정 시간을 도출하였다.

Synthesis of zeolite 4A was carried out to optimize the nanoparticle synthesis process using statistical experimental design method. The zeolite 4A was synthesized by controlling the concentration of the silicon precursor, sodium metasilicate (SMS), and characterized by XRD, SEM and nitrogen adsorption. In particular, the property of zeolite 4A can be determined by XRD analysis. Using the general factor analysis in the design of experiments, we analyzed main effects and interactions according to the reactor, reaction temperature and reaction time. The optimum reaction condition for the synthesis of zeolite 4A crystallinity was using an autoclave for 3 hours at $110^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the optimal synthesis conditions of zeolite 4A with various crystallinity using Ludox as a silicon precursor were presented of what using both the surface and contour plot.

At the stage conceptual design, combat vehicle is classified into three general categories of fire power, mobility and physical properties of system. The present research is restricted to fire power and its optimization. At the stage of conceptual designing of system, it is appropriate to consider major variables affecting fire power - including the weight of bullet, which exerts a direct influence on destroying effect, maximum range which takes long range firing in consideration. To estimate the maximum firing range, a simple interior ballistic and an exterior ballistic model were built by using the lumped parameter method, Le Duc method and point mass trajectory model. Design of experiment and regression analysis was used to derive simulations of fire power. Finally, response surface models were built and design variables were analyzed.

The conventional method of magnetic abrasive polishing is not suitable for non-magnetic materials because such polishing is basically possible when magnetic force exists and the magnetic force in non-magnetic materials is very low. The installation of an electromagnet under the working area of a non-magnetic material, which is called second-generation magnetic abrasive polishing in this study, can enhance the magnetic force. Experimental evaluation and optimization of process parameters for polishing magnesium alloy steel was performed by adopting the design of experiments and the response surface method. The results indicated that the intensity of the magnetic force and spindle speed are significant parameters that affect the improvement of surface roughness. A prediction model for the surface roughness of the magnesium alloy steel is developed using the second-order response surface method.

In many industries, the linear motor replaces the existing framework for linear transportation. Similar to other conventional motors, it is important to minimize the ripple of thrust and to maximize the thrust force of the linear motor. Because the two objectives are associated to each other, the multi-objective design process is necessary considering all objectives. This paper intends to optimize geometric parameters of the linear motor with two design objectives using design of experiments and sequential response surface method.

The paper deals with comparative study of characteristics of surrogate models and sensitivity evaluation using design of experiments in order to enhance and analysis the structure design of an automatic salt collector under various design load conditions. Orthogonal array design based on numerical analysis was used for the design of experiments. The thickness sizing variables of main structure member were considered the design factors, and the output responses were selected from the strength performances as well as the weight. The quantitative effects on responses for each design factor were evaluated from the orthogonal array experiment. Optimum design case was also identified to improve the strength performances with weight minimization. Using the orthogonal array experiment. various surrogate models such as response surface model, Kriging model, and Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial were generated. The orthogonal array experiment results were validated by the surrogate modeling results. The most suitable surrogate model was the response surface model for the exploration of design space of the automatic salt collector.

A micro-genetic algorithm (MGA) is one of the improved forms of a genetic algorithm. It is used to reduce the number of iterations and the computing resources required by using small populations. The efficiency of MGAs has been proved through many problems, especially problems with 3-5 design variables. This study proposes an optimization algorithm based on the sequential design of experiments (SDOE) and an MGA. In a previous study, the authors used the SDOE technique to reduce trial-and-error in the conventional approximate optimization method by using the statistical design of experiments (DOE) and response surface method (RSM) systematically. The proposed algorithm has been applied to various mathematical examples and a structural problem.
