Notes:
A method for the constrained optimization of the filler content in polyester resin was demonstrated. The fillers investigated included marble, clay, pecan shell flour, and hollow microspheres in various concentrations. The method of optimization included an experimental design to generate data and a polynomial regression analysis to determine the mechanical property constraint functions. The constraints were well approximated by linear functions, and linear programming was used to find optimum compositions for several possible applications.
