ANN based Intelligent Mechanical Engineering Design: A Review

Abstract

Objectives: The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has perceived in all fields such as in the intelligent based control, the design of the intelligent based mechanical systems, pattern recognition-based systems, knowledge processing reveals the application of AI. Method/Statistical Analysis: In this paper, a review on the applications of ANN in the intelligent mechanical engineering systems such as diagnosis of faults in machines, the analysis of mechanical structure, geometry modelling of the mechanical structures, mechanical design and its optimization were studied and an extensive review was done. Findings: The adaption of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is still in the earlier stage of development especially in the field of mechanical engineering. This review points out the various applications of ANN in intelligent based systems and the potential to minimize the efforts and time and to obtain more effective system for mechanical based design and fault identification. Application/Improvements: Future enhancements in this wok are to include more applications of AI in the design of mechanical based systems.
