Description of the research topic:
Nowadays engineering design, production, and maintenance are supported by effective software, the calculations related to the algorithms and mathematical methods applied are carried out by these software. Thus the majority of engineering tasks belong to the specification, analysis and evaluation of systems and processes.
Decreasing time-demand of calculations enables us to gather and analyse large amounts of input and output data and to investigate the connection between these data in order to find optimum design, production and maintenance parameters and to enhance the effectiveness of design and process control.
The complexity of connection between input and output data of technical systems requires new approaches and flexible methods. According to the publications in this area, the application of the machine learning techniques (e.g. neural networks, support vector machines) can be an effective way to the system analysis.
Integration of certain analysing methods and algorithms in a software can result in a useful supporting tool for engineering design and optimization.
