Design of a Computer Expert System for Adhesive Selection Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Abstract

The Adhesives Section, Materials Technology Branch of the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center was funded to design and build an expert system prototype capable of using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to aid in the selection of a proper adhesive or sealant for Army materiel. The adhesives expert system prototype is designed to operate on an IBM-PC compatible 80486 computer have a minimum of four MB RAM and eight MB hard disc space. The system will operate using MS-DOS 5.0 Windows 3.1. Kappa PC version 2.1, a C-based application development and delivery environment for PC's by IntelliCorp, Inc. was identified as a suitable expert system shell program. The adhesives selector expert system (ASES) is currently being developed with this system using object-oriented programming techniques and rule based reasoning.
