An expert system is developed for rational and efficient design of multi-component injection molding which is a fairly new manufacturing technique to produce plastic parts by injecting two or more materials sequentially using multiple injection units in a single machine into a single rotary mold. The knowledge base used in the present design system is primarily composed of two parts ; knowledge from domain expert and knowledge from CAE analysis. The present expert system has hour main modules ; general design guidelines for injection molding specific guidelines for multi-component injection molding redesign guidelines from the result of the CAE analysis and finally troubleshooting for multi-component injection molding. To show the validity of the present design methodology two shop floor design problems were tested ; design and fabrication of timing belt cover and power window's assist knob by using multi-component injection molding.

The design and manufacture of injection molded polymeric parts with desired properties is a costly process dominated by empiricism, including the repeated modification of actual tooling. This paper presents an expert design evaluation system which can predict the mechanical performance of a molded product and diagnose the design before the actual mold is machined. The knowledge-based system synergistically combines a rule-based expert system with CAE programs. Heuristic knowledge of injection molding is formalized as rules of an expert consultation system. The expert system interprets the analytical results of the process simulation, predicts the performance, evaluates the design and generates recommendations for optimal design alternatives.

To comply to demand for a development requirement of aircraft design part, the expert system builds up standard knowledge-base based on presently maintained expert knowledge and experience in aircraft structure material selection. It also builds up database based on aircraft design open data, and standard calculation module used for present design and analysis method. This system is developed using Visual Basic language. The expert system standardize aircraft structure material selection and can be applied to all type of elementary stage of aircraft structure design. It is working on Windows, which has a friendly interface and is convenient for debugging, maintenance and transplanting. Explanation of the structure and the function of the system was given in this paper.

An expert system was developed as a framework of integrating diverse and multifactored ergonomic knowledge to investigate its effectiveness in ergonomic workplace design and evolution. Although numerous computer-assisted approaches have been made to overcome the lack of integrated design principles, those models being used require very specific information of various design activities that may not be available in the design stage. On the other hand, an expert system would be an effective design aid that is capable of guiding the designer to solve a problem. However, most expert systems lack detailed evaluation capabilities due to a qualitative nature of inference mechanisms. Furthermore, those approaches were independently developed, focusing mostly on a single aspect such as biomechanics, physiology, etc. In this paper, a design framework was developed which takes advantage of expert system metholologies, a relational data base and existing ergonomic models. The pattern-directed, rule-based expert system allows the designer to gradually formulate and subsequently evaluate workplace design. A comprehensive and modularized knowledge base was built incorporating biomechanics, physiology and psychophysics, which is, in turn, capable of accessing not only qualitative knowledge but complex analytic evaluation models and massive information in the data base through an interface. A conflict resolution strategy using multiple criteria decision-making schemes was also employed to reconcile multiple design alternatives.

The study is insufficient on process planning of the elliptical deep drawing product. Thus, in this present study, the expert system for elliptical deep drawing products was constructed by using process sequence design. The expert system was developed to be based on the general concept of each entity. The system was developed in this work consists of sixth modules. The first one is a shape recognition module to recognize non-axisymmetric products and to generate Entity_list. The second one is three dimensional (3-D) modeling module to calculate the surface area for non-axisymmetric products. The third one is a blank design module to create suggested blanks of three shapes with the identical surface area. The fourth one is shape design module based on the production rules that play the most important role in an expert system for manufacturing. The production rules are generated and upgraded by inter- viewing field engineers, plastic theory and experiments. The fifth and sixth ones are a graphic module to visualize results of the expert system and a post module to rise user's convenience, respectively. According to constructed the expert system for process sequence design, it was possible to reduce the lead time.

As a part of the configuration design expert system of machine tools, inference mechanisms are constructed in this paper. In addition to procedural inference, the method of multivariable inference is considered as an efficient approach to deal with the cases of highly coupled condition. We propose a generalized multi-variable inference procedure. The procedure is applied to the type selection module of the configuration design expert system of machine tools in order to demonstrate the efficiency and validity.

An integrated design system has as its aim the incoporation of all the design processes, such as, planning, preliminary design, analysis, detailed design (mamber design), evaluation, and drafting into an unified software system. Successful implementation such a system could lead to major improvements in efficiency by eliminating duplication of data and efforts. reducing errors, saving design time, providing management support, and so on. This study presents a methodology for an computer-integrated design system for building structures, synthesizing algorithmic procedures and knowledge based expert systems on the network database. Network database, which was designed to store all information systematically during the design processes, provides centeral communication area between algorithms and expert systems. The conventional procedural codes automate the routine design phases such as structural analysis, whereas knowledge-based expert systems support designer's decisions at the creative design phases such as preliminary design etc. The user interface with interactive and batch modes controls the design phases and manages design information and activates the algorithms and the expert systems. The concept presented in this paper will contribute to the formulation of automated design systems for building structures.

An expert system to design compressor valve systems has been developed. Design process is viewed as a chain of devisions based on the results of necessary analyses. Actual design is implemented by the interaction between the expert system and the user. In this work, it is demonstrated how a final design is achieved by utilizing the rule bases and analysis capability of the system. The structure of the rule bases and related parameter studies are also explained. Advantages of using an expert system approach for valve designs are explained using a practical example.

In these days of world-wide business environment, the characteristics of quality management are variety, specialty, decentralization, totality, etc. Thus nowadays quality management is demanded to incorporate these new concepts. We propose a web-bused distributed expert system for this purpose. The system consists of four expert systems for design of experiment, acceptance inspection, statistical process control and reliability management corresponding to design quality, incoming-material quality, manufacturing quality and usability quality, respectively, throughout the total product life cycle. Each distributed expert system at the horizontal level in the hierarchy carries out its own quality jobs independently. At the lower level in the hierarchy there is an expert system for measurement analysis to provide reliable data, and at the upper level, an expert system for total quality management to coordinate, integrate and make final decisions. A prototype has been developed and its application is presented.
