On Designing an Expert Diagnostic System of the Aircraft Turbine Engine Functional Units

The paper presents issues related to the design of an expert diagnostic system of turbine engine functional units. Dedicated diagnostic stations and on-board flight data recorders are the sources of diagnostic signals. The signals were parameterized or identified dynamic models to get a compact representation in the form of a set of parameters. The set of diagnostic parameters was subjected to integer encoding. On this basis, a multi-valued diagnostic model describing the relationship between the set of faults and the set of symptoms (code values of diagnostic parameters) was determined. The proposed approach can be used in the design of expert diagnostic systems for propulsion units of any aircraft.
