The inspection of engine lubricating oil can give an indication of the internal condition of an engine. By means of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), an expert system is developed in this paper to computerize the inspection. The traditional components of an expert system, such us knowledge base, inference engine and user interface are reconstructed and integrated, based on the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library. To testify the expert system, an inspection example is given at the end of this paper.
This paper is devoted to develop an expert system to manage the fault isolation and maintenance knowledge of the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS). The object oriented programming (OOP) technique and the microsoft foundation class (MFC) are applied to set up a frame decision tree (FDT) which incorporates the expert system′s knowledge base, inference engine and user interface. Once a fault symptom indicated by the EICAS is input, by inferring step by step, the expert system can locate it in the engine and provide some homologous constructive maintenance advice.
