Construction of knowledge based engineering platform for armored vehicle

Armored vehicle design involves various aspects of technical knowledge and experience. To effectively manage and share this knowledge and experience throughout the entire development process, a methodology of construction of knowledge based engineering (KBE) platform for armored vehicle is proposed. In this methodology proposed, architecture of the knowledge based engineering platform and category of armored vehicle knowledge are first presented. And then, the modeling, storage and retrieval for each type of knowledge are illustrated. The ontology is adopted to create the innovation design knowledge base. Combing the case-based reasoning (CBR) with function-structure mapping method to construct the reuse design knowledge base. Design process integration technique is applied to build the typical design problem solving knowledge base. Finally, a practical case study is presented to introduce the operations of the knowledge based engineering platform for armored vehicle.
