Abstract
As engineering mechanics is a fundamental tool for the design and/or production of machines or structures, many engineers use theoretical and/or experimental formulae in their daily work. But these formulae are applicable only under certain conditions, and more often than not it takes a considerable amount of expertise to make appropriate decisions on what kind of formulae should be applied for the given conditions. Although manuals are published to provide aids for this purpose, they cannot provide information deep enough to answer quite diversified requirements of an individual user. And in addition, as the progress of engineering mechanics is quite rapid these days, it is not easy to keep the contents of manuals up to date. This paper points out that by introducing logic programming technique, we can cope with such diversified requirements and can easily update the content through an interactive software system.
