Study on the Development and Application of Automobile Transmission Design Expert System

Abstract

This paper introduces the development of transmission design expert system base on MATLAB. It is discussed in detail that the establishment of expert system knowledge base， input and output (I/O) interface， material database and parameter database. In the part of the knowledge base, such as modeling of transmission design calculation, building of material database and parameter database are expounded detailedly. The I/O interface is built with MATLAB “Graphical User Interface (GUI)” technology, which is good at organizing knowledge, so ensure the consistency and rationality between I/O interface and knowledge base. Furthermore, the I/O interface makes the communication between the subsystems more convenience. Finally, with the help of expert system, a (4 + 1) gears Manual Transmission is designed, The result shows that the transmission expert system can shorten automobile transmission design calculating time and improve the calculation precision.
