Just as AI has transformed many other sectors, its application to mechanical technologies enables significant improvements in design, manufacturing and quality control processes: from computer-aided design (CAD) to printing parameter optimization, defect detection and real-time monitoring. This type of technology requires computer systems, data with management systems and advanced algorithms which can be used by AIs.
In mechanical engineering, AI offers many possibilities in mechanical construction, predictive maintenance, plant monitoring, robotics, additive manufacturing, materials, vibration, etc.
Methods and Applications of Artificial Intelligence is dedicated to the methods and applications of AI in mechanical engineering. Each chapter clearly sets out the techniques used and developed and accompanies them with illustrative examples. The book is aimed at students but is also a valuable resource for practicing engineers and research lecturers.
