In many application of response surface methodology, good estimation of the derivatives of the response function may be as important or perhaps more important than estimation of mean response. Using a graphical method, we have studied the effect of outliers, missing observations, and design augmentation with respect to the slope estimation in the response surf ace designs.

A proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFC) operate at low temperature, allowing for faster startups and immediate response to change in the demand for power, and also deliver high power density. To maximize economical efficiency in PEMPC, it is necessary to the optimization. Response surface method(RSM) has non-gradient and fast convergency characteristics. Sampling points are extracted by design of experiments using Central Composite Method. In this paper, it is shown that the optimization is required for the design study of the PEMFC.

Quality variations in mixture products such as medicine, food, engineering chemicals, and alloy materials can be caused by their own sub-components. For instance, discharging characteristics of a lithium-ion rechargeable battery depend upon the mixture ratio of ethylene, dimethyle, and ethyle-methyle, all of which consists an electrolyte solution in the battery. Thus it is important to determine tolerances of mixture components in maintaining the product quality at a desired level. This paper proposes a simple but efficient approach to a mixture tolerancing method with multi-response variables. We use a response surface method for empirical modelling between mixture components. An illustrative example of the proposed method is given.

In this study, shape optimization of micro-static mixer with a cantilever beam was accomplished for mixing the mixing efficiency by using successive response surface approximations. Variables were chosen as the length of cantilever beam and the angle between horizontal and the cantilever beam. Sequential approximate optimization method was used to deal with both highly nonlinear and non-smooth characteristics of flow field in a micro-static mixer. Shape optimization problem of a micro-static mixer can be divided into a series of simple subproblems. Approximation to solve the subproblems was performed by response surface approximation, which does not require the sensitivity analysis. To verify the reliability of approximated objective function and the accuracy of it, ANOVA analysis and variables selection method were implemented, respectively. It was verified that successive response surface approximation worked very well and the mixing efficiency was improved very much comparing with the initial shape of a micro-static mixer.

This study presents the performance optimization of hypervelocity launcher system by using the experimentall data. During the optimization, the RSM (Response Surface Method) is adopted to find the operating parameters that could maximize the projectile speed. To construct a reliable response surface model, 3 full factorial method is used with the selected design variables, such as piston mass and 2 driver fill pressure. Nine test data could successfully construct the reasonable response surface, which used to yield the optimal operational conditions of the system using the genetic algorithm. The optimization results are confirmed by the experimental test with a good accuracy. Thus, the optimization can improve the performance of the facility.

To identify the bridge information from the response of test vehicles passing on it (also known as the indirect approach) has aroused the interest of many researchers thanks to its economy, easy implementation and less disruption to traffic. The surface roughness of bridge remains an obstacle for such method as it contaminates the vehicle response severely and thereby renders many vehicle-response-based bridge identification methods ineffective. This study aims to eliminate such effect with the responses of two different test vehicles. The proposed method can estimate the surface profile of a bridge based on the acceleration data of the vehicles running on the bridge successively, and obtain the normalized contact point response, which proves to be relatively immune to surface roughness. The frequencies and mode shapes of bridge can be further extracted from the normalized contact point acceleration with spectral analysis and Hilbert transform. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified numerically with a three-span continuous bridge. The influence of measurement noise is also examined.

Response surface method is employed in optimizing the acoustic performance of automotive engine-cooling axial fans. The effects of modifications in blade geometry on noise reduction are investigated. Taking the far-field noise level as the objective, a quadratic response surface is constructed utilizing D-Optimality condition as the candidate-points selection criteria. It is shown that the quadratic model exhibits an excellent fitting capability resulting in the blade design with low far-field noise level.

The final polishing process is based on slurry, pad, conditioner, equipment. Therefore, the concept of wafer final polishing is also necessary for repeatability of results between polished wafers. In this study, the machining conditions have a pressure, table speed, machining time and slurry ratio. This research investigated the surface characteristics that apply variable machining conditions and response surface methodology was used to obtain more flexible and optimumal condition base on Taguchi method. On the base of estimated response surface curvature from the equation and results of Taguchi method, combined design of experiment was considered to lead to optimumal condition. Finally, polished wafer was obtained mirror like surface.

Life-cycle performance and maintaining cost predictions are required for the effective management for bridges. In Korea, the importance of management of bridges has been recognized over the past two decades, resulting in the development of databases and various bridge management support tools by both government and private sectors. However, none of these tools has truly included the expected features of the bridge management system (EMS) for the next generation such as the quantification of the effects of maintenance interventions on bridge condition and safety. In this paper, a novel quantification process to simulate the life-cycle performance of steel box bridges has been developed. The process is based on the Response Surface method. Various performance-related variables aloe investigated to identify a set of significant design variables to construct the response surfaces.
