This chapter presents the friction stir welding (FSW) of aluminum alloy AA-5083-O using vertical milling machine. In present FSW experimentation, effects of different process parameter namely tool rotation speed, welding speed, tool geometry, and tool shoulder diameter have been determined on welding quality of two pieces of AA-5083-O using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal sets of process parameters have been determined for weld quality characteristics namely tensile strength (UTS) and percentage elongation (%EL). In present experimentations, a specially designed tool made of high carbon steel with different shoulder diameters (15mm, 17.5mm, and 20 mm) having constant pin length (6 mm) were used for FSW of two pieces of aluminum alloy. The ANOVA and pooled ANOVA were used to study the effect of FSW parameters on UTS and %EL. Multi response optimization has been carried out using desirability function in conjunction with RSM to obtain the optimal setting of process parameters for higher UTS and lower %EL.

Filling grouting is effective to control the overlying strata movement and surface subsidence in mining and tunnel engineering.Grouting material is used in grouting reinforcement projects. In this experiment,based on the mechanical properties of grouting materials, Expert Design and response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize the mix proportion of grout materials. The sand-fly ash ratio ,water reducing agent addition are researched as variables, and the 3D response surface is established between the factors and the performance indicators. Microstructure explains the mechanism of factors affecting performance indicators.The results show the relationship between factors and performance can be well fitted by RSM.The order of significance on compressive strength and solidification ratio is sand-fly ash ratio>water reducing agent addition and the order of significant on viscosity is water reducing agent addition>sand-fly ash ratio.Response surface methodology accurately describes the functional relationship between the target value and the design variables.Microstructure shows hydration reaction and the secondary hydration reaction of fly ash will be carried out after cement-fly ash mixed, and the addition of fly ash is especially important for grout material properties.

As the emissions regulations have become more stringent, reducing NOX emissions is of great importance to the shipping industry. Due to the price and emissions advantages of natural gas, the diesel-natural gas engines have become an attractive solution for engine manufacturers. Firstly, in this paper, the NOX emissions prediction model of a large marine four-stroke dual-fuel engine is built by using AVL-BOOST. In addition, the model is further calibrated to calculate the performance and emissions of the engine. Then, the influences of boost pressure, compression ratio, and the timing of intake valve closing on engine performance and emissions are analyzed. Finally, the response surface methodology is used to optimize the emissions and performance to obtain the optimal setting parameters of the engine. The results indicate that the response surface method is a highly desirable optimization method, which can save a lot of repeated research. Compared with the results from manufactured data, the power is increased by 0.55% and the BSFC, the NOX emissions, and the peak combustion pressure are decreased by 0.60%, 13.21%, and 1.51%, respectively, at low load.
