Jag. Bogarin et Nff. Ebecken, INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE SOURCES FOR FLEXIBLE PIPE EVALUATION AND DESIGN, Expert systems with applications, 10(1), 1996, pp. 29-36
This paper presents FRAES, an expert system environment designed to in
tegrate the multiple sources of knowledge required to analyze the inte
rnal structure of flexible pipes. Numerical algorithms, data bases and
expert knowledge are explored by the inference mechanism of the syste
m to assist the technical personnel of petroleum companies in the anal
ysis, design and diagnosis of flexible pipes to be used as flowlines o
r risers in offshore applications.
