Designing a knowledge management system for Naval Materials Failures

NAVMAT Research project attempts an interdisciplinary approach by integrating Materials Engineering and Informatics under a platform of Knowledge Management. Failure analysis expands into forensics engineering for it aims not only to identify individual symptomatic reasons failure but assess understand repetitive patterns, which could be related underlying material faults, design mistakes or maintenance omissions. utilizes focused common-cause methodology the naval marine environment, begin with. It will eventually support decision making through appropriate Artificial Intelligence Natural Language Processing methods. The presented work describes knowledge based system dedicated effective recording, efficient indexing, easy accurate retrieval information, history secure operation concerning incidents materials, components systems in fleet organisation. Based on materials ontology, utilising artificial intelligence algorithms modern approaches data handling, at optimisation nav al mat erials management Maintenance Repair Operations (MRO), supplies staff training.
