Abstract: A prototype system for the selection of polymeric-based composite materials for automotive components is presented in this article. This prototype was developed using a knowledge-based system KEE (Knowledge Engineering Environment) tool-kit. The selection of suitable materials for automotive components, and in particular for the pedal box system, was the major emphasis of this research work. Mechanical, physical and chemical properties, together with economic and manufacturing considerations, were taken into consideration during the material selection process. These factors and others were represented as constraints and translated in the form of heuristic rules in the knowledge-based system (KBS). The KBS enabled users to select the suitable materials that satisfied all predefined criteria and constraints. A material must satisfy all these constraints in order to become a suitable candidate material for a particular component. If any one of the rules was violated, the system gave a message regarding the unsuitability of the material for a particular component.
