Abstract :
An expert system for composite material selection starting from the user specification was developed. Since a database management system (DBMS) was necessary to manage the amount of information for material and application characterization, a logical interface between the Expert 2 system and the relational database was developed. This configuration allows complete separation between the database problem of material characteristic management and the rule-oriented material selection problem handled by the expert system
