A prototype knowledge-based system for material selection of ceramic matrix composites of automotive engine components

TL;DR: In this article, the link between design for manufacturing and manufacturing itself is discussed in the context of natural fi bre composites and a case study on the application of design for sustainability guides for a natural feed-forward composite product is presented.

TL;DR: This chapter gives an overview on the new product development activities and some basic features of materials selection.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a material selection method and selected the optimum material for the application of brake disc system emphasizing on the substitution of this cast iron by any other lightweight material.

TL;DR: In this paper, an expert system approach was used to solve the material selection problem for automotive parts, where four or five different properties were inspected for each automotive part such as impact resistance, lightness, formability, corrosion resistance and low prices for bumpers; strength, formality, vibration absorption and low cost for flywheels; and strength, formulation, and biocompatibility for implants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define fibres, fabrics and fillers matrix resins and fibre/matrix adhesion as constituents of composite materials and apply them in a variety of applications.

TL;DR: The discussion includes definitions, basic concepts, expert system architecture, descriptions of some of the programming tools and environments with which knowledge-based systems can be built, and approaches to knowledge acquisition.
