The constructing idea and working procedure for knowledge base and inference engine were proposed while the realization technique of the C language was discussed. An intelligent decision support system (IDSS) model based on such knowledge representation and inference mechanism was developed by domain engineers. The model was verified to have a small kernel and powerful capability in list processing and data driving, which was successfully used in the design of a cooling/heating sources system for a large-sized office building.展开更多

Design of inference engine is the key point and difficulty in the design of fault diagnosis expert system. This paper combinesLabVIEW and MATLAB to design the inference engine of fault diagnosis expert system based on the advantages of the graphical pro-gramming environment and signal analysis toolkit of LabVIEW without the defect of neural network toolkit.

The concept of grade-life (GL) is introduced to de- scribe the service life of bearings. A GL prognostic model for aircraft engine bearings is proposed based on sup- port vector machine (SVM) and fuzzy logic inference. Firstly, the mathematical model is discussed to predict the physics-based GL (PGL). Then, the diagnostic estimation model based on SVM is presented in detail to predict the empirical GL (EPL). Thirdly, a fuzzy logic inference is adopted to fuse two GL predicted results. Finally, the GL prognostic model is verified by the run-to-failure data acquired from an accelerated life test of an aircraft bearing. The results show that the model provides a more practical and reliable prediction for the service life of bearings.展开更多
