Expert System of Fault Diagnosis for Flight Simulator Based on Fault Tree Analysis

Abstract

Aiming at the problems existing in maintenance of flight simulator, considering characteristics of expert system, the architecture and fault diagnosis methods of flight simulator, the structure and key realization technology for flight simulator fault diagnosis expert system are studied; the flight simulator fault diagnosis expert system design proposal is completed. Research on transforming from fault tree pattern to rule and diagnosis knowledge representing are emphasized, expert system knowledge base is constructed by means of frame plus production knowledge representing method, then certainty and rule based backward chaining inference engine with depth-first and heuristic search mechanism is designed, the system diagnosis flow and inferring flow are also developed in this paper. Finally the expert system is tested by a fault solving demonstration.
