This paper presents the optimized mixing design of lightweight aerated concrete using hydrogen peroxide. Design of experiments in order to the optimized mixing design was applied and commercial program (MINITAB) was used. Statistical analysis was used to Box-Behnken (B-B) method in response surface analysis. The influencing factors of experimental are unit cement content, water ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio. According to the analysis of variance, at the hardened state, water ratio and hydrogen peroxide ratio affects on dried density, compressive strength and bending strength of lightweight aerated concrete, but unit cement content affects on only dried density. In the results of response surface analysis, to obtain goal performance, the optimized mixing design for lightweight aerated concrete using hydrogen peroxide were unit cement content of 800 kg/$m^3$, water ratio of 44.33% and hydrogen peroxide ratio of 10%.

This paper presents a design of the Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM). an initial design process is accomplished by using the parametric design. In the design process, motor characteristics of parameters is computed by the d-q axis equivalent circuit model. Then, an optimal design process is accomplished by combination the experimental design and the response surface method. Finally, the design and analysis results are verified with experimental results.

In the deterministic optimization of a structural system, objective function, design constraints and design variables, are treated in a nonstatistical fashion. However, such deterministic engineering optimization tends to promote the structural system with lest reliability redundancy than obtained with conventional design procedures using the factor of safety. Consequently, deterministic optimized structures will usually have higher failure probabilities than unoptimized structures. Therefore, a balance must be developed between the satisfactions of the design requirements and the objectives of reducing manufacturing cost. This paper proposes the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) technique, which enables the optimum design that considers confidence level for the vibration characteristics of structural system. Response surface method (RSM) is utilized to approximate the performance functions describing the system characteristics in the RBDO procedure. The proposed optimization technique is applied to the pillar section design considering natural frequencies of a vehicle structure.

We study the problem of multiple response optimization (MRO) and focus on the selection of input levels which will produce desirable output quality. We propose an interactive multiple objective optimization approach to the input design. The earlier interactive methods utilized for MRO communicate with the decision maker only using the response variable values, in order to improve the current response values, thereby resulting in the corresponding design solution automatically. In their interaction steps of preference articulation, no account is taken of any active changes in design variable values. On the contrary, our approach permits the decision maker to change the design variable values in its interaction stage, which makes possible the consideration of the preference or economics of the design variable side. Using some typical value functions, we also demonstrate that our method converges reasonably well to the known optimal solutions.

Response Surface Method (RSM) constructs approximate response surfaces using sample data from experiments or simulations and finds optimum levels of process variables within the fitted response surfaces of the interest region. It will be necessary to get the most suitable response surface for the accuracy of the optimization. The application of RSM plan experimental designs. The RSM is used in the sequential optimization process. The first goal of this study is to improve the plan of central composite designs of experiments with various locations of axial points. The second is to increase the optimal efficiency applying a modified method to update interest regions.

To produce alcohol from Mume (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc) fruits, fermentation conditions were optimized by a response surface methodology (RSM) using the fractional factorial design with 3 variables and 5 levels. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of response surface regression equation for alcohol production were 0.9276. Optimum conditions for alcohol production were involved with 8.39% of sugar content, 28.86$^{\circ}C$ of fermentation temperature and 3.84 days of fermentation time. Finally, predicted level of alcohol production at these conditions was 5.24%.

The influences of chloride-free components of the cement additive: triethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, sodium hyposulfite and calcium gluconate on the 1d, 3d and 28d compressive strength of cement were investigated by response surface methodology. It found the early strength activators, triethanolamine and sodium hyposulfite could enhance the 1d strength of cement effectively but they did not contribute to the 3d strength enhancement, and further their interaction was able to decrease the 28d strength of cement. Calcium gluconate was not that effective for the strength enhancement on 3 and 28 days when it's simply dosed. However the interaction effect of calcium gluconate with triisopropanolamine could strongly favor the strength enhancement of cement after 3 days. Results indicated it was necessary to focus attention on the potential interactions among the chemical components. And for the concern of four chemicals studied in this paper, it was feasible to formulated a kind of chloride-free cement additive that can be effective for the early strength of cement and its the strength after 3 days.

Icosahedron and dodecahedron designs are experimental designs which can be used for response surface analysis for the case when three independent variables are involved. When we are interested in estimating the slope of a response surface, slope rot at ability is a desirable property. In this paper, we derive conditions for icosahedron and dodecahedron designs to have slope rotatability, and actually obtain some slope-rotatable icosahedron and dodecahedron designs. We also apply Park and Kim (1992)'s measure of slope rotatability to icosahedron and dodecahedron designs, and observe resultant facts.

In the present study, the air jet flow characteristics of the dryer in the automatic car wash machine were numerically predicted by commercial CFD code. The effects of the dryer shape and the nozzle width variations on the performance of the automatic car wash machine were discussed. To optimize the geometric parameters, the response surface method(RSM) with CFD was used. Predicted jet velocity distributions for the optimized geometry were compared with experimental data and the comparisons show generally good agreements. Also, the performance of the dryer was improved with the optimized results.

Joint stiffness can affect the vibration characteristics of car body structures. Therefore, it should be included in vehicle system model. In this paper, a numerical approximation of joint stiffness is presented considering joint flexibility of thin walled beam-jointed structures. Using the proposed method, it is possible to optimize joint structures considering the change of section shapes in vehicle structures. The numerical approximation of joint stiffness is derived using the response surface method in terms of beam section properties. The study shows that joint stiffnesses can be effectively determined in designing vehicle structures.
