This paper presents a knowledge-based system capable of giving the designer quality support when making decisions from the aspect of modeling the reinforcement of a plate-press within a position of maximum compressive load, and by choosing suitable material for the plate. Based on the selected combination of reinforcement and material, this system acquaints the user with the size and position of the largest comparative stress, and the greatest nodal displacement in the load-direction. This system operates based on the implemented knowledge of experts in the execution of design, material selection, and numerical analysis based on the finite-element method (FEM), which was written with the help of parameters within the knowledge-base of the CATIA V5 CAD-system. Using this system gives the user an opportunity to reach conclusions that are crucial for designing a plate-press or pressure-loaded die-elements, in general. The results reveal that the system can dramatically shorten design time and improve design quality in comparison to manual design process.

A knowledge-based cutter head design theory of shield tunneling is proposed because of lacking integrated cutter head design theory in China. A three-dimensional theory system is structured by the Hall three-dimensional theory. The basic concepts of the mentioned theory and connotations of knowledge model which takes cutter head of EPB shield tunneling as an example are also expounded in detail. The application in practice shows that the knowledge-based cutter head design theory is feasible. It is important to improve design quality, efficiency and reduce cost in cutter head design.

Abstract The current trend of CAD system is to make the system intelligent. CAD systems need to be intelligent in the sense that they must be able to use knowledge to achieve the designer’s goal. In the early stages of ship design, more experienced and higher level knowledge is required rather than that of detail design. The existing CAD systems have several limitations in terms of satisfying the requirements of real design. Accordingly, a more powerful and capable CAD system is required to support the activities in the early stage of design. Recently the application of expert systems has been considered as a tool for extending the capability of existing CAD systems. In this paper, we present an approach to implement a practical knowledge-based system for the machinery layout design of a ship engine room. The knowledge-base is implemented and verified in the actual CAD environment of a ship engine room, named MADES, which we develop in this study. The approaches presented in this paper provide a practical example of a knowledge-based system for complex design problems, and can also provide guidance on implementing an integrated design expert system that extends the capability of existing CAD systems.
