An artificial intelligence approach for the design and manufacturing of micro electro mechanical systems

Special issue on integrated and hybrid intelligent systems in product design and development

“…Furthermore, classification of roller bearing conditions into six different categories is conducted for the diag-nostic purpose. In [11], Liu and Oh developed, a PCbased Expert System, EASYMEMS, which contains domain specific knowledge of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) as well as the reasoning process of a human expert. The computerized consultant system can be used for thorough static and dynamic analysis in MEMS design and manufacturing.…”

A distributed multi-agent system approach for solving constrained optimization problems using probability collectives

“…The author is also interested to extend and modify the PC methodology further to make it capable of solving a variety of discrete problems which may open up a wider range of applications including complex mechanical design and assembly problems [229][230][231][232] as well as disassembly problems [233]. In addition, the author also sees the potential of constrained PC approach for the design of composite structures with various manufacturing constraints [234].…”
