TITLE: DOE for Modeling Block-Oriented Dynamic Systems

ABSTRACT:

Statistical experimental design, traditionally, does not address the development of models for dynamic response behavior (i.e., the time response behavior when processes are not in steady state).  However, engineers often require accurate dynamic models.  These situations include predictive modeling and control of continuous dynamic processes for disturbance and set point changes, batch processes (which are inherently dynamic), and for start ups and shut downs of all types of processes.  Hence, this talk presents a method that enhances and extends the use of experimental design to include the modeling of dynamic behavior.  This talk will demonstrate how to use experimental design with continuous-time dynamic modeling for a major class of dynamic non-linear systems. A D-optimal design criterion analysis is given to provide theoretical support for the proposed procedure.
