this paper presents a new bridge management system (j-bms). it is integrated with a concrete bridge rating expert system that can be used to evaluate the serviceability of existing concrete bridges. the proposed j-bms not only evaluates the performance of bridges, but also offers a rehabilitation strategy based on a combination of maintenance cost minimization and quality maximization. in this ...

Ultrasonic machining (USM) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle work pieces by using shaped tools, high-frequency and an abrasive slurry. This paper addresses the concept and development of an expert system (ES) for hard and brittle material, such as glass, quartz, diamond, carbides, semi conducting materials, ceramic and graphite which ca...

This paper introduces a power system restoration guidance system that assists the decision of power system operators for reliable and fast restoration processes when a blackout happens in a power system. This system consists of three major subsystems, that is a topology processor, main restoration guidance expert system and another expert system for voltage control. The topology processor ident...
