A Knowledge-based Master-model Approach with Application to Rotating Machinery Design

Research paper published in Concurrent Engineering (ISI Journal) Abstract Novel rotating machinery design concepts and architectures are being explored to reduce mass, energy consumption, manufacturing costs, and environmental impact while increasing performance. As component manufacturers supply parts to original equipment manufacturers, it is desirable to design the components using a systems approach so that they are optimized for system-level performance....
