Abstract


The continuing growth of composite materials industry has produced an increasing need for more computerization in this field. The object-oriented model, applied to an intelligent database system, seems to be the most suitable and promising modeling method for computerization of data and knowledge related to selection of composite materials. In this study, an object-oriented intelligent database system for composite materials selection is developed. The system combines the database and expert systems technologies to provide a decision support tool that aids design engineers in selecting the proper composite material. Interactions with the system are supported through a friendly graphical user interface. The modeling developed provided a considerably flexible and extendable system.
