Abstract
This paper shows the methods, techniques and codes developed as Artificial Intelligence tools for turboprop maintenance. Diagnostics is the main area of maintenance considered while Expert Systems and Back Propagation Neural Networks are the Artificial Intelligence subjects discussed. The codes allow consideration of the turboprop with different configurations.
The Knowledge Base of Expert Systems and the training patterns of Neural Networks are obtained from the matrices of influence obtained through massive use of engine simulation programs.
The paper shows examples of both Expert System and Neural Network utilization.
