Questo lavoro illustra il disegno sperimentale split-plot ponendo l’attenzione allo sviluppo che questo piano sperimentale ha ottenuto negli ultimi anni in ambito tecnologico e ambientale. In particolare, tale disegno sperimentale è qui brevemente introdotto considerando la struttura...

Response surface experiments often involve only quantitative factors, and the response is fit using a full quadratic model in these factors. The term response surface implies that interest in these studies is more on prediction than parameter estimation since the points on the fitted surface are...

In many industrial experiments, some of the factors are not independently reset for each run. This is due to time and/or cost constraints and to the hard-to-change nature of these factors. Most of the literature restricts the attention to split-plot designs in which all the hard-to-change...

We report on using Design of Experiments (DoE) methods to study the influence of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) material on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance. We applied DoE methods to discern and quantify the effect of a micro-porous layer (MPL) for the first time. Two...
