The design for cold extrusion dies is very important, because the die insert is subjected to very high radial and hoop stresses. The design of cold extrusion dies has many constrained conditions. In this paper, the used assumptions are such that the yield strength of each ring is selected according to the allowable tensile or compressive hoop stress in each ring and the maximum allowable inner pressure, when yielding occurs in one ring of the dies, is obtained by the proposed equation. In order to obtain design variables, such as diameter ratios and interferences, using the maximum inner pressure, the flexible tolerance method was used for shrink-fitted thick-walled cylinders. ANSYS APDL was used to perform the repeated analysis of deformation of the dies due to the variation of the design variables. The response surface methodology is utilized to analyze the relationship between the design variables and the maximum radial displacement of the die insert during extrusion. From the results, it is found that outer diameter of the die insert has the largest effect on the minimization of maximum radial displacement at the inner surface of the dies.

This research was attempted to investigate changes in physicochemical properties of rice extrudate with added ginger powder extruded by single screw extruder. Graphic three dimensional analysis on response surface regression was used to evaluate effects of extrusion variables on quality factors of the extrudate according to two independent variables, ginger consent 0∼12%, moisture content 14∼26%. The summarized results are as follows : 1) Regarding proximate composition of rice extrudate with added ginger powder, as ginger powder content of raw material Increased, crude tat, crude protein, crude ash and crude fiber increased, while soluble nitrogen free extract decreased. 2) Graphic three dimensional analysis on response surface regression was conducted for each dependent variable which revealed statistically significant relationship with independent variables, 0∼120A ginger and 14∼26% moisture content. Expansion ratio had a critical point as moisture content changed. As ginger and moisture content Increased, bulk density, break strength and water absorption Index Increased, while water solubility Index decreased. The predicted maximum degree of gelatinization in 6.15% ginger and 15.56% moisture content is 88.27%, and lightness decreased as ginger content Increased. According to the microstructure for the cross section of extrudate obsorbed with image analyzer, air cell number and perimeter revealed saddle point, meanwhile total area and fractarea of air cell had critical points as moisture content changed. In view of the results, quality of rice extrudate with added ginger powder was optimum when rice flour was fed to the extruder with 2∼7% singer powder and 15∼20% moisture content.

A series of experiments was performed in this study to investigate the boiling heat flux between an impinging water jet and a hot surface. Test variables were surface roughness, jet velocity, saturation temperature excess of surface, nozzle diameter and the gap distance between nozzle plate and the hot surface. In order to make the impinged cooling water a forced flow streaming a long the hot surface immediately after the initial impingement, the flat nozzle tip was extended to a circular flat plate having the same diameter as the hot surface. Utilizing the dimensionless parameter study on continuity, momentum and energy equations, 5 groups of variables involved in the nucleate boiling heat transfer were derived so that it is possible to estimate the increased heat flux by impinging water jet in a similar experimental work. For the case of saturated water being impinging onto a high temperature surface, an applicable correlation among dimensionless parameters describing the heat flux was found to be as follow.

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.

The objective of the study is to improve the quality of wheel bearing hub by the rigid-plastic finite element analysis and the response surface methodology. The rigid-plastic finite element codes, AFDEX-2D and DEFORM-3D, were used to analyze the two-dimensional and three-dimensional forging processes, respectively. The response surface analysis is used to find the minimum underfill by the variation of design variables such as the height of billet after upsetting and punch angles of blocker dies. The metal flow of forged product shows good agreement with the results from 2D and 3D analysis. Also, the quality of the wheel bearing hub has been improved by the optimization of design variables and the machining time has been reduced by the machining allowance.

A probabilistic study of a reinforced earth wall in a frictional soil using the surface response methodology (RSM) is presented. A deterministic model based on numerical simulations is used (Abdelouhab et al. 2011, 2012b) and the serviceability limit state (SLS) is considered in the analysis. The model computes the maximum horizontal displacement of the wall. The response surface methodology is utilized for the assessment of the Hasofer-Lind reliability index and is optimized by the use of a genetic algorithm. The soil friction angle and the unit weight are considered as random variables while studying the SLS. The assumption of non-normal distribution for the random variables has an important effect on the reliability index for the practical range of values of the wall horizontal displacement.

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.

In the design of experiments for response surface analysis, sometimes it is of interest to estimate the difference of responses at two points. If differences at points close together are involved, the design that reliably estimates the slope of response surface is important. This idea was conceptualized by slope rotatability by Hader & Park (1978) and Park (1987). Until now, second order polynomial models were only studied for slope ratatability. In this paper, we will propose the necessary and sufficient conditions for slope rotatability over all directions for the thired order polynomial models in two, three and four independent variables. Also practical slope rotatable designs over all directions for two independent variables are suggested.

Recent studies son surface coatings have shown that the change of physical, chemical and crystallographic structure analysed and observed according to the deposition process variables has the effects on the resultant film properties. Under the same preparation condition conditions of the substrate and process variables, physical morphology variations characterized by substrate temperature and bias which offect the surface mobility of adatom and adhesion variations related to the formation of Ti interlayer were considered in the present study. Microhardness showed the highest value around 40$0^{\circ}C$ of the substrate temperature and increased with the substrate bias. Adhesion was improved with the increase of substrate temperature and bias. An interlayer of pure titanium formed prior to deposition of TiN improves the adhesion at its optimum thickness. These results were explained by the change of physical morphology and phase analysis.
