Abstract—A web-based computer-aided material-selection system for aircraft design was put forward, applying a material-selection strategy combined screening and ranking methods. This combined strategy could make good use of selection experience and material testing data, thus making the selection results more reasonable and bringing more standardization to the material selection process. The system’s Browser/ Server (B/S) architecture together with its implementation details was described. The B/S system could be accessed with web browser conveniently. The system’s effectiveness was demonstrated by two aircraftdesign material-selection case in actual applications. This system could help designer select suitable materials for airframe, provide knowledge for inexperienced engineer and accumulate enterprise-level material-selection expertise.
