Forging Advisor
Final Report of NCMS Project Number 140168

The mission of the project was to provide to designers a web-based advisor that provides the detailed forging process knowledge now only available from highly experienced forging process engineers. The advisor system uses an innovative reasoning scheme that is based a (user definable) weighted table. The scheme proved to work well and is much more easily understandable by manufacturing engineers that a more traditional backwards-chaining rule set.
