A Web-based Computer-Aided Material-Selection System for Aircraft Design

A web-based computer-aided material-selection system for aircraft design, together with its architecture and implementation details, is put forward. Furthermore, a prototype of this system is developed and the prototype's effectiveness is demonstrated by an aircraft-design material-selection case in actual applications. This system can help designer select suitable materials for airframe, provide knowledge for inexperienced engineer and accumulate enterprise-level material-selection expertise.
