Construction of a generic tool by expert systems for mechanical design.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

design, construction and evaluation of a non-contact tool for estimating crop density by laser beam

crop density measurement is one of the most important factors in precision farming and effect onthe performance of harvesting machines such as combine and mower. so, the purposes of this studyare to design, build and calibrate of an inexpensive and non-contact instrument that can estimatecrop density for crops such as wheat, barley and alfalfa stems. the sensing unit is consisted of lasertransm...

A knowledge Conversion Tool for Expert Systems

Most of expert systems use the text-oriented knowledge bases. However, knowledge management using the knowledge bases is considered as a huge burden to the knowledge workers because it includes some troublesome works. It includes chasing and/or checking activities on Consistency, Redundancy, Circulation, and Refinement of the knowledge. In those cases, we consider that they could reduce the bur...
