Abstract: An expert system in fatigue and fracture analysis based on Web is developed in this paper. The system consists of six functional parts: a general inference engine, some knowledge bases, a context, an interpretation engine, a bases administration system and the interface (includes browser, Web-server, etc.). It can simulate a human expert to make analysis and design scheme for some typical structural components: pressure vessels, huge rotation constructions, welded structures, etc. It is an open system which may be broadened and perfected to cover a wider range of application through the modification and enlargement of the knowledge and data bases on Web.
