Firstly, a self feeding based procedure is proposed with the intention of being a fast method to be used as a first estimate of suitable process parameters.
An improved response surface based procedure is proposed by combining it with the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and the appropriate response surfaces are constructed by combining the saturated design and the central composite design sampling schemes.
An algorithm based on bivariate kernel smoothers is used to nonparametrically estimate the surface of the object and bootstrap-based procedures are proposed for testing the null hypothesis.
Also bootstrap-based procedures are proposed for testing a null hypothesis establishing that the surface has planar symmetry.
Two eigensensitivity based optimizing procedures are proposed, which are analogous to the pole placement technique and optimal control theory for dynamic system design.
Based on the achieved results, two different design procedures are proposed.
A model of the metal particles based on the differences in impregnation procedures is proposed to account for the difference of properties of alloys of series 1 and series 2.
Based on the above discussion, ECL procedures were proposed as shown in Scheme S2 and the ECL mechanism was presented in Supporting Information S1.
Finally, a practical specimen design and a detailed scanning procedure are proposed, based on the CT experiments performed in this research.
Based on the numerical and experimental results, recommendations on the design procedures were proposed.
Three optimization procedures were proposed.
