The article reflects the relevance of the research and development stages of a program complex for automation
of the production of products from composite materials using cutting edge tools. To the necessity of systematization of
the known composites, their properties and characteristics. Presents in detail the process of creating a software module
for formation of database of composite materials, with the ability to interactively create, edit, delete, search information
on the physico-mechanical and operational properties of composites. The article describes the technique of multi-
criteria analysis of composite materials, allowing to choose rational composite given its highest priority at the decision
point properties. In addition, the principle of operation of the software and UI features. Noted the future prospects of
theoretical and practical implementation of research results.
Today industry requires to use the constructional materials of high performance properties. The
metals and their alloys don’t meet the increased physical and mechanical properties requirements. The
composites have been replacing the traditional metallic structural materials. The modern composites as well
as the structures and products made of them are widely used in various industries (mechanical engineering,
aircraft industry, shipbuilding, etc.), because they have high specific strength and elastic properties, corro-
sion resistance, low thermal and electrical conductivity, good tribological properties, suited for developing
future techniques and technologies [1 – 3].
The preparation process of composite articles manufacture includes the steps connected with sound
technical and economic decision making to choose the construction material [4], the toll design and geome-
try [5, 6], technologies and modes of tool production [7 – 11] and edge cutting of composite articles [12 –
17]. While making synthesized decisions one should consider the stages of production preparation as it is
labour and time consuming process that requires processing large volume of information and often makes
manufacturers to stop or restrict the products making of composites. In this regard, to improve the efficiency
of this process it is necessary to automatize it [18 - 20].
To systematize the composites database we propose to use the knowledge concerning the basic
information about physical and mechanical properties of the composites, their cost, the manufacturers, the
material used by the manufacturer, etc., and which can be proved with the technical or reference books,
catalogs, or electronic resources. For this purpose we created a software module designed to work with the
composites database and is a tool which allows the user to fill, to edit, to delete and to search the composites
interactively. An example of a dialog window for working with the composites database is presented in Fig.
