Techniques in Knowledge-Based Expert Systems for the Design of Engineering Systems

  • Chapter

Abstract

Engineering design is a process of inventing new physical products and systems to fulfill human needs. It is one of the most important and challenging phases in the development lifecycle of a product (Figure 1). Note that the figure depicts the feedback loops for design only; the other feedback loops have been omitted for clarity.

Design process and the product lifecycle.
