Abstract: Orthogonal arrays of high strength can provide attractive designs for both physical experiments and computer experiments. Nevertheless, only a few orthogonal arrays of high strength are available in design literature, and most of their descriptions are in the language of specialized domains and terminology. These technical barriers have prevented high-strength orthogonal arrays from being widely applied. The aim is to relieve the above problem and provide a convenient reference for researchers and practitioners by investigating and reviewing the construction methods of linear orthogonal arrays of strength three. Two applications of these linear orthogonal arrays, constructions of blocked orthogonal arrays of strength three and strong orthogonal arrays of strength three, are introduced to illustrate their power in generating desirable designs for physical and computer experiments. The key components for these designs can be found in the text or Appendix so that people can use them conveniently.
