Design of Experiments for Contrail Avoidance
… to climate change each year than any other form of aircraft emissions. While most contrails have little effect on the climate because they dissipate quickly, contrails persist when they form in parts of the atmosphere that are ice-supersaturated (ISS). These ISS regions are often shallow, and can …

Design of Experiments in an Industrial Setting
The purpose of this paper is to provide a basic understanding of three experimental design techniques and how they can be applied in an industrial setting. A discussion of the three primary methods--classical, Taguchi, and Shainin is provided. Also, a series of full factorial experiments were …

Sequential optimization through adaptive design of experiments
This thesis considers the problem of achieving better system performance through adaptive experiments. For the case of discrete design space, I propose an adaptive One-Factor-at-A-Time (OFAT) experimental design, study its properties and compare its performance to saturated fractional factorial …

Bayesian design of experiments for complex chemical systems
Engineering design work relies on the ability to predict system performance. A great deal of effort is spent producing models that incorporate knowledge of the underlying physics and chemistry in order to understand the relationship between system inputs and responses. Although models can provide …

System regularities in design of experiments and their applications
This dissertation documents a meta-analysis of 113 data sets from published factorial experiments. The study quantifies regularities observed among main effects and multi-factor interactions. Such regularities are critical to efficient planning and analysis of experiments, and to robust design of …

Constitutive parameter identifiability and the design of experiments for applications in breast biomechanics
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in females, affecting 1 in every 10 women worldwide. Breast conserving therapy (BCT) is the most common procedure used for treating early-stage invasive breast cancers, and involves localised excision of tumorous lesions followed by …

Objective comparison of design of experiments strategies in design and observations in practice
Design of Experiments (DoE) strategies in robust engineering determine which prototypes and how many of each are created and tested. A better strategy is one that delivers a closer-to-optimal performance at a lower experimental cost. Prototype testers who may use statistical DoE, design-build-test, …

Parameter Identification and the Design of Experiments for Continuous Non-Linear Dynamical Systems
Mathematical models are useful for simulation, design, analysis, control, and optimization of complex systems. One important step necessary to create an effective model is designing an experiment from which the unknown model parameter can be accurately identified and then verified. The strategy …
