Artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering

Abstract

This paper is a survey based analysis about the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various domains of mechanical engineering as well as its use in industry and fault diagnostic systems. This paper presents the case for the use of AI instead of conventional techniques in industrial processes and fault diagnosis of mechanical systems as they are time consuming and in some cases ineffective. The use of AI can result in early detection and diagnosis of faults in mechanical systems which can increase the plant safety and can be useful in optimising operational costs. This paper also lists the various uses of an AI driven Knowledge Based System. At the end some diverse applications of AI in mechanical systems have been identified while discussing their positive impact on the field.
