Abstract: | A prototype expert system is described for concurrent design and analysis of composite structures. This system integrates symbolic, numerical and knowledge-based tools in an object-oriented programming environment for design synthesis, evaluation and modification. The system determines structural behavior utilizing a combination of analytical and numerical tools. Design modifications and structural optimization are performed using heuristic and experientially derived knowledge bases. The different domain-specific programs and commercial packages utilized by the system are integrated using a generic interfacing mechanism. The utility of the system is demonstrated by means of a design case study for a typical aircraft or rotorcraft structural component. |
