The optimum design problem of a coat-hanger die is solved by the inverse formulation. The flow in the die is analyzed using three-dimensional model. The new model for the manifold geometry is developed for the inverse formulation. The inverse problem for the optimum die geometry is formed as the optimization problem whose objective function is the linear combination of the square sum of pressure gradient deviation at die exit and the penalty function relating to the measure of non-smoothness of solution. From the several iterative solutions of the optimization problem, the optimum solution can be obtained automatically while producing the uniform flow rate distribution at die exit.

Two plate girders bridge has an advantage for execution of works and quality control because of its simplicity of super-structure caused by decreasing in amount of members and also is distinguished as aesthetic bridge type. Recently this has been adopted for structure of highway as well railway and introduced into domestic. In order to plan or design two plate girders bridge more rationably, it is necessary to comprehend its structural behavior as well as to consider the critical resign factors. Thus, in this study the formulation of optimum design for two plate girders bridge is proposed and the critical resign variables ani restraints are considered and founded by caring out optimum design. The objective function of optimization is formulated as a minimum cost design problem. And the thickness and length of I-shaped section are decided as resign variables. The design constraints are formulated based on Design Criteria for Railroad(Bridges). By comparing the optimum results with those of the conventional resign, the effectiveness of proposed optimum design formulation is investigated. From the results, the way to do optimum design of two plate girders bridge is suggested.

Biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) has been used for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis. However, its poor solubility in water, $2.5\;{\mu}g/ml$, caused low bioavailability of the drug after its oral administration. In order to increase the dissolution of DDB in gastrointestinal tracts, consequently to increase the bioavailability of the drug, DDB tablet was prepared with solid dispersion of DDB with poloxamer 338 or 407 using a direct compression method. To improve the flowability of the solid dispersion, Aerosil was used as an adsorbent. The effect of formulation variables (poloxamer and Aerosil contents) on the dissolution rate of DDB from tablets was investigated using an analysis of variance. The dissolution rate of DDB from tablets was evaluated with KP II (paddle) method. The dissolution patterns of the drug from the tablet prepared with poloxamer 407 were affected significantly by the contents of poloxamers and Aerosil over the range employed, but those of the drug from the tablet prepared with poloxamer 338 were not. The optimum formulation of the DDB tablet, showed the same dissolution pattern as that of the reference, was obtained after polynomial equations of drug dissolution profiles for each formula were fitted to contour plots. The optimum formulation ratios of DDB:poloxamer 407:Aerosil were 1:2.5:2.5 and 1:5:5.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of melon jam with RSM. The melon jam was prepared with 50~65% sugar, 0.5~2.0% pectin, and 0.1~0.5% citric acid. Sugar and pectin caused the increase in sweetness, Hunter's colorimetric characteristics (a, b), and firmness. Citric acid caused decrease in pH, sweetness, firmness. Sensory evaluation results showed that preferences for the melon jam increased as sugar, pectin, and citric acid approached their optimum values and then decreased as they exceeded optimum levels. Consequently, the proposed optimum levels in the ingredient formulation for manufacture of the standard melon jam were 59.0% sugar, 1.4% pectin, and 14.9% citric acid, as based on both numerical and graphic statistical analyses. Ultimately, this study was expected to contribute to the commercialization of melon jams of high quality.

The increasing price of surimi has affected the economical benefits of surimi based food industry, To maintain gel strength in low grade surimi, the optimum formulation adding functional proteins to low grade surimi is required. The objective of this study was to develop the optimum formulation of ingredients in making gels in low grade surimi on the addition of functional non-muscle proteins to low grade surmi by measuring rheological properties of the gels. The rheological qualities of the cooked gels made with A and RA grade surimi on the effects of adding five kinds of starches (potato, wheat, waxy maize, corn and modified corn) and four kinds of functional proteins (bovine plasma protein, dehydrated egg white, soy protein isolate and whey protein concentrate) to the gels were evaluated, The gel styengths at cooking with A and RA grade surimi were decreased with increasing the added starches. The kind of starches added affected little the gel strengths in Rh grade surimi, while potato and corn starches decreased at the least in gel strengths of the gel made with A grade surimi with increasing the concentration of starches. The bovine plasma protein (BPP) significantly increased the gel strength, especially in RA grade surimi, but BPP decreased the whiteness of the gel. Therefore, the optimum content of BPP was up to $2\%$ because of the whiteness of the gels in RA grade surimi, The optimum formulation for the gel with RA grade surimi to satisfy the gel strength of 1000$\times$g and $78\%$ moisture was $40.9\%$ surimi, $9.1\%$ dehydrated egg white (DEW) and $0.9\%$ starch, while that with A grade surimi under the same condition was $37.9\%$ surimi, $6.6\%$ DEW and $3,4\%$ starch.

This study focused on the establishment of optimum formulation of polyamide based hot melt adhesive through adhesive synthesis, study of physical property, and adhesion study. In the previous study, the optimum formulation of base resins (CM831, 843P) and tackifying resin (terpene resin) was determined. The weight ratio of CM831, 843P, and terpene resin was 75, 25, and 10, respectively. Based on the optimum formulation, the effect of wax and filler addition was examined in this study. According to the results, the maximum adhesion strength with the steel could be obtained by the addition of 5 wt% of polyethylene wax although the melt viscosity of adhesive decreased continuously with the addition of wax. In the case of filler, the optimum adhesion property could be achieved by the addition of 10 wt% of talc. However, the addition of filler caused little increase of melt viscosity of adhesive.

Many industrial products such as paints, ink and adhesives are composed of the ingredients of a mixture. In mixture experiments, the characteristics of quality(response) depends only on the proportions of the ingredients and does not depend on the total amount of the mixture. This article discusses the constrained mixture experimental design, the data analysis, and the optimum formulation of ingredients based on the two quality characteristics - taste and flavor. It IS shown that efficient designs can be constructed from D-optimal criterion. Special cubic models were selected as the final mixture response surfaces for both reponses. The desirability function was used for the optimization of the two responses.

Light weight superstructure is beneficial for bridges in remote areas and in emergency erection. In such weight sensitive applications, combination of fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) as material and box-girders as a structural system have great scope. This combination offers various options to tailor structure and its elements but this flexibility poses greater challenge in optimum design. In this paper a procedure is derived for a generalised optimum design of FRP box-girder bridges, using genetic algorithms (GA). The formulation of the optimum design problem in the form of objective function and constraints is presented. Size, configuration and topology optimization are done simultaneously. A few optimum design studies are carried out to check the performance of the developed procedure and to get trends in the optimum design which will be helpful to the new designers.

The harmony search method based optimum design algorithm is presented for geometrically non-linear semi-rigid steel frames. Harmony search method is recently developed metaheuristic algorithm which simulates the process of producing a musical performance. The optimum design algorithm aims at obtaining minimum weight steel frames by selecting from standard set of steel sections such as European wide flange beams (HE sections). Strength constraints of Turkish Building Code for Steel Structures (TS648) specification and displacement constraints were used in the optimum design formulation. The optimum design algorithm takes into account both the geometric non-linearity of the frame members and the semi-rigid behaviour of the beam-to-column connections. The Frye-Morris polynomial model is used to calculate the moment-rotation relation of beam-to-column connections. The robustness of harmony search algorithm, in comparison with genetic algorithms, is verified with two benchmark examples. The comparisons revealed that the harmony search algorithm yielded not only minimum weight steel frames but also required less computational effort for the presented examples.
