This paper discusses the experimental investigation to find out the optimal electrolyte composition in improving the surface quality of the gear teeth profile during surfacing finishing of bevel gears by the electrochemical honing process. In this study, AISI 1040 was used as the workpiece material, mixtures of sodium chloride and sodium nitrate in different ratios were used as the input parame...

Discrete choice experiments are frequently used to quantify consumer preferences by having respondents choose between different alternatives. Choice involving mixtures of ingredients have been largely overlooked in the literature, even though many products and services can be described as ingredients. As a consequence, little research has done on optimal design mixtures. The only existing focus...

In contrast to the classical discrete choice experiment, the respondent in a rank-order discrete choice experiment, is asked to rank a number of alternatives instead of the preferred one. In this paper, we study the information matrix of a rank order nested multinomial logit model (RO.NMNL) and introduce local D-optimality criterion, then we obtain Locally D-optimal design for RO.NMNL models in...

oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. in this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. the emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. a mixture design was use...

Computer experiments often have inputs that are proportions/fractions of components in a mixture. In these mixture computer experiments, it can be of interest to perform robust and tolerance design on the mixture proportions since the proportions are subjected to noise variations. Traditionally, manufacturing of mixture products is controlled via interval tolerances for mixture amounts. In this...

The development of 3D printable cement-based materials is a complex process with variety competing objectives. compositions formed are far more than in conventional concrete, increasing the difficulty designing mixtures for concrete printing. As number mix design increases, workload increases exponentially during process. In this study, D-optimal experimental method employed to reduce experimen...

Inferences for spatial data are affected substantially by the spatial configuration of the network of sites where measurements are taken. In this article, criteria for network design that emphasize the utility of the network for prediction (kriging) of unobserved responses assuming known spatial covariance parameters are contrasted with criteria that emphasize the estimation of the covariance p...
