This work aimed to analyze the influence of voids content, morphology (size and shape), and position on the creep behavior of glass/epoxy composites with a reduced number of experiments, applying the design of experiments ...

Nanotechnology has been widely applied to develop drug delivery systems to improve therapeutic performance. The effectiveness of these systems is intrinsically related to their physicochemical properties, so their biological ...

In this study, a novel hybrid composite based on biodegradable hydrogel and Portland cement with promising technological properties was reported. In the first step, a full 2(3) with central point factorial design was ...

In this paper, we extend the use of the variance dispersion graph (VDG) to experiments in which the response surface (RS) design must be blocked. Through several examples we evaluate the prediction performances of RS designs ...

A hybrid material made of carbon fiber, poly(ether-ether-ketone) and metallic braided wire mesh was designed to improve the crashworthiness of thermoplastic composite structures. The filament winding process was adapted ...

Factorial experiments are widely used in industry to investigate the effects of process factors on quality response variables. Many food processes, for example, are not only subject to variation between days, but also ...
